Reading and digesting classical authors

You just narrated part of my story exactly! But there is a second part of my story that led to my current ‘reflective’ stage in my professional career on software design. That second part includes reading and digesting some other kind of texts by classical authors (Dijkstra, Dahl, Hoare, Knuth, Meyer, Tanenbaum, Myers, Mills, Weinberg, Parnas, Gilb, DeMarco, Abelson and Sussman, etc.). This current stage feels like another career entirely different than the career in my previous part of my story. Nowadays, I talk to others about that in the context of my Reflective Developer Program’.
