Today is the most complex day so far in #Kharkiv. Almost 2 hours in a row the whole city was bombed with tactical missiles. Historical center of Kharkiv is destroyed. #Russia bombed civilians only. My city is almost destroyed to ashes, but we still stand and will be!

Like last year, it has been quite a challenge to select only four books, because so many more amazing books have been published this year. But here they are, my favourites of 2024, which I think are here to stay and help us build better software together.
My favourite books on the history of IT and computing 📚💾🖨️
📕 "Fire in the Valley" by Michael Swaine and Paul Freiberger
📘 "Konrad Zuse's Early Computers" by Raul Rojas
📙 "Unix, a History and a Memoir" by Brian Kernighan
📗 "Wild West to Agile" by Jim Highsmith
Thank you 🙏
📙 "Unix, a History and a Memoir": Now that Unix and its variants are everywhere, it's just nice to learn about the people behind Unix and to see how it came to be in the last millenium.
📗 "Wild West to Agile": The latest addition to this set probably has the most relevance for my current job / role, because it tells stories of people developing software systems in various and evolving contexts – from the 1960s until today.

🧑🦰 ...? We might need a different tool ...
👨💼 But why? The hammer was your tool of choice some time ago when you were asked to drive the nail into the wall!?
