6. Books you should read
The Mythical Man Month by Fred Brooks. An interesting historical piece that put into public consciousness observations such as Brook's law , which is often related as "nine women can't make a baby in one month." The book is full of many relatable experiences, and the prose is a treat to read. Many conclusions and recommendations that Brooks makes have come to fruition, while others remain pain points.
