Fascinating read... useful for placing design practices in a historical context alongside programming language development. I like reading some of these older works, as separating the modern technological and business context helps to find the timeless aspects of humans and their relationships to each other, and technology.

So far this book has been very helpful! I found it just the right amount of theory and practical advice for my tastes. As a Staff Engineer, I found this more helpful for filling in the details of what my management counterparts care about, than reading pure management books.

Leisure-time reading... but with note-taking!

I love how the book references primary material, making for a detailed accounting of the Curiosity/MSL mission, in both a scientific and historical context.

Taking this book slow, and following references to papers and other books to strengthen my background knowledge. So far, I find the author's approach to architecture to be very pragmatic.
