A "classic" about the TDD technique.

A MUST read: even being 15 years old, there are some good advices and it helps you further reflect about it :-)

En mi experiencia, es un libro que va de menos a más. Me pareció muy flojo al principio, pero poco a poco va tomando mucho más "cuerpo", profundizando más, hasta llegar un punto en que lamenté que acabara :-)

Un libro muy recomendable para quiera mejorar en su comunicación escrita y, sobre todo, para quien quiera tomar más consciencia sobre las palabras y discursos que nos rodean.

I must say that I really enjoyed this book.

I got it kindly recommended after some (unpleasant) discussions on Twitter about feminism and sexism, and I'm very glad that at least I got this as "something good" from it.

As a white cishet man, unless you're already very familiar with this topic, you have to read it in a very open-minded way. Some assertions might make you feel attacked or uncomfortable, but I think it is worthy to read it leaving all your ego aside. I'm sure we all can learn a lot from it (I hope I did it).

Surprisingly, I only disagreed with a couple of sentences. In a 140 pages book, that looks amazing to me :-)

I specially enjoyed the Woolf's part and the last chapter, "Pandora's box". Very powerful analysis and reflections.

I think it's specially good that the writer communicates very well, she uses a very "wise" way to express herself. Because of that, it was easy to me to focus on the message and not on the way the message was transmitted.

Without forgetting the drama and seriousness of this problem, she keeps a constructive, positive and optimistic speech. I loved that. So far I have experienced, not everybody has that way to focus this topic...

TL;DR: just read it! :-)

I think this book can be a good trigger for starting freeing space from both your home and your mind.
In my case, I found within it the perfect "excuse" for donating lot of stuff that I really don't use/need anymore.

I also think the same message could have been transmitted using a half of the pages :-)

Disclaimer: Probably my rating would have been higher if I had not read any other book about Buddhism (history or philosophy) beforehand.

It's a book with a mix of history (the history of Buddhism, the context where it was born, about India), the connection with other philosophers and religions, and also the Buddhist philosophy itself.

I liked it. Maybe too much in-depth details about the context, but obviously it's very personal.

Despite the 3 stars, I would recommend it :-)

Simplemente GENIAL.

Un libro más que recomendable para cualquier persona que quiera mejorar su comunicación escrita, independientemente de su uso (novela, email o Whatsapp :-p ).

Es más: aquellos que os dediquéis al desarrollo de software también encontraréis muy buenos consejos para mejorar su legibilidad y expresividad.

Cosas que he aprendido: la diferencia entre "legibility" y "readability", la existencia del "Plain English Movement", el significado de palabros como "solecismo", "anatema", "pleonasmo", "zeugma" o "anantapódoton".

Lo dicho: un libro muy ameno y didáctico que sin duda te ayudará a mejorar tu escritura :-)
