Indeed, but Steve's book was published, as many serious works are, by
Microsoft Press. Microsoft does have a good research arm, just as in
its time IBM-as-the-evil-empire did. The left hand didn't know what the
right hand was doing, so to speak. Microsoft "Fellows", like IBM
"Fellows" have done some serious work and contributed to the field.
Do not presume to think that just because both Microsoft and IBM
produced godamnawful code and used questionable marketing practices that
everything done in their name was Evil
Steve was the editor in chief of the IEEE Software Magazine, and is on
the board that developed the IEEE Software Engineering Body of
Knowledge. At the time he wrote "After the Gold Rush" he worked for
Construx. http://www.stevemcconnell.com/
I very strongly recommend that you read "After The Gold Rush" (In my
opinion V1 was better than V2) before casting aspersion.

grain of salt, but an entire bucket.
