Comment on Show HN: I wrote a book: The Elements of Code

Comments

I wish there was a similar book for writing software that is difficult to write.

The Law of Triviality (aka bike shedding) applies as much to writing books as anything else. You don't have to be an expert to explain easy stuff to beginners. On the other hand, you have to be very advanced to explain difficult stuff to experts.
