Glass is great!

The only others who compare are his contemporaries, Steve McConnell, Timothy Lister, Tom DeMarco, and Barry Boehm.

Unfortunately, they're all basically retired. It feels like this kind of interest in software development, at least the publishing, ended around the mid-2000s.

My guess is the shift to blogs from books, adoption of Agile (in whatever form), and a shift in industry focus to getting rich rather than getting good ended the efforts to come up with resources like Glass put together.
