mauami reviewed The Bug by Ellen Ullman
The only piece about software development I can relate to
4 stars
It has captured me and wouldn't release until I've found The Jester too. Honestly, I don't understand why this book receives such mixed reviews. The hunt for an elusive bug is a proper thriller, the story is well-paced and, most of all, it's the most accurate depiction of the reality of software development I've read in fiction so far. It's a solid novel I'd easily recommend even to non-programmers.
