Andreas Zeller: Why programs fail (2009, Elsevier/Morgan Kaufmann) 3 stars

Review of 'Why programs fail' on 'Storygraph'

3 stars

Good but oriented towards desktop software and severely out of date when it comes to tooling.  There are lots of inquiring looks into research techniques like delta debugging but very little on how programmers actually debug in practice and how tooling can support their processes and constraints.

Cadwell Turnbull: The Lesson (Hardcover, Blackstone Publishing) 2 stars

Review of 'The Lesson' on 'Storygraph'

2 stars

its not really science fiction.  It's a character novel with aliens, the Ynaa, who are not believable as a race.  They are stand-ins for rich white people.
