It's not a "tech" book, as if it were a 2008 book on how to use a specific version of Access. It's on programming practices. Most good programming books from 20 or 30 years ago are still relevant today. Instead of acting smug with your jackie chan meme(?) you could just ask next time. I hate these one line "zingers" people drop like this is twitter.

The man has moved on to functional programming since then. People are allowed to change.

I have 211+ programming books in my library going back to 1998. I don't consider any books from 16 years ago to be valuable or relevant today.

Then those books aren't any providing any deep knowledge, just superficial trivia about whatever is fashionable. some people do that as their job, though, so do what you want.
