It very clearly does concern us… hence the thread.

FWIW I’m only familiar with the term “pragmatic programmer” because of the book. I don’t think I’ve ever heard it in any other context.

When I saw the post I thought it was written by the same author.

The point is; "it doesn't have to".

Honestly, I only clicked into this thread because I associated the phrase "The Pragmatic Programmer" with the famous book, and if it's not by the same people, I am less interested in their content specifically because of the "borrowed"(stolen?) term.

All your assumptions/preconceived notions are only keeping you from good Knowledge.

It's possible, however I've already wasted time with a click based on the book title, and based on that I would prefer not to give the authors any more of my time regardless of missing out.

My primary purpose is to use good judgement on choosing where to spend my time. Thus I choose not to read the book, it's not hate, it's judgement. My secondary purpose is to not reward those who use underhanded schemes to get ahead. This may not have been their intention, but it is how I perceive it.
