RIP Fred Brooks, architect of the IBM/360 and its OS, and author of The Mythical Man Month. A hugely influential computer scientist. As an undergraduate computer science student I worked part time in the Physics/Maths library at St Andrews University. And for much of my time there in between helping users I’d pull The Mythical Man Month off the shelf of short loan books behind me, and have another read.
