The Mythical Man-Month

Books

Filter bubbles cause funny interactions. My girlfriend saw me reading a book “The Mythical Man-Month” that she never heard about before. So, we asked our friends around, what they think this book is about.

We got two types of answers:

  • either it must be something about the male hormonal cycle,
  • or about a month when a man goes into nature and reconnects with his predecessors’ roots.

Both ideas are funnier than the reality - that this is a book about software project leadership and time estimation (in man-months).
