I love this book so much. This is the book I would hand out to people just starting a job as a programmer. It's especially useful for consultants and programmers on services teams; it tells you how to take a series of meetings and turn them into a common language for talking about domain objects.

Will Sargent reviewed Sit Down and Shut Up by Brad Warner
Review of 'Sit Down and Shut Up' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
This is a more serious look at Dogen and the history of Zen than his Hardcore Zen book. It's still good.
I have a hard time objectively reviewing Warner's books, because even the bits that many people find annoying, like his habit of pointing to his personal experience and interleaving anecdotes and jokes with some surprisingly comprehensive breakdowns of koans and chants seems all of a piece -- there are no zen masters, only human beings.
That being said, this is one of the books that I read and reread, and will probably keep doing so for a long while.
