It's a book written a long time ago. It's so important that it is available for FREE online!
Whenever I've spoken with developers I've admired or respected I ask them about what books they've read regarding development. Without fail, "The Mythical Man Month" is somewhere in the response.
You probably got a taste of how good the book is in the first chapter. Tonight, you will each be reading a different chapter in TMMM. Much like last night you will be forking this repo and submitting answers when you are finished.
