Commentary by cpressey on Philosophy works
The Cognitive Connection: Thought and Language in Man and Machine
Begins with a disclaimer that it contains at least one error — which turns out to be a giant understatement. The book is riddled with errors, but has a great attitude. Touches on many of the weirder beliefs people have held about logic and language through history (for example, the "logic machines" of Ramon Llull.)
Patterns of Software: Tales from the Software Community
By he of "worse is better" fame.
Kind of goes all over the place, but worthwhile for its comparison of object-oriented programming to poetic compression, and for making a case that beauty may not be subjective.
