Title: It should be about facts not ego
Review: From the beginning this book seems to be about Jakob standing on high, sharing his unquestioned wisdom with the simple folk. Perhaps if he backed up his pronouncements with more facts, idependent research (not just quoting himself, his firm or his past affliations with Sun) he might sound like more than hot air.In the end, I measure any non-fiction book by how many practical insights, tips or concepts I take away. I finished this book without having learned anything more than if I had sat in a bar listening to a couple of web designers bitching about how stupid most people are. It comes down to look at my site. I got it right because I am smarter than you.Save the money. Go buy a couple of developers a beer.
