Ask HN: What are the software development tomes of wisdom?

2 points by ambertch ↗ HN
First off, I want to try to distinguish between software and programming wisdom (maybe I'm completely off base here, feel free to correct me):

Code Complete or the GoF design patterns book are programming wisdom: how to write good code, but I would consider it to mainly address the wisdom in programming itself.

On the other hand, books that have to do with software development wisdom are classics like: - The Mythical Man-Month - Joel on Software blog/series - The Soul of A New Machine which all talk about macro/meta lessons learned while developing software or working on a large software project.

What are other software development tomes of wisdom you guys like? I'm looking for some casual reading in the park as the days get warmer...
