Nithin Bekal’s Reviews > The Productive Programmer (Theory in Practice > Status Update

It is 10 years old and already completely outdated. It focuses on tools that were relevant in the 2000s, instead of ideas that would still be relevant today. I chuckled when I came across a section that recommended using Google Desktop, which was discontinued in 2011.

If you were considering this book, I'd suggest picking up The Pragmatic Programmer instead, which has stayed relevant after after two decades.
