I'm not a very good judge of such things. Obviously a lot of people
thought so.
In my experience, the vast majority of people involved in SW development
are not qualified to design SW, much less write books about it. I'm
marginally qualified, and I'm familiar with a number of people who are
better qualified, but I'm also familiar with large numbers of people who
aren't qualified. I think it's very important to SW and the world that
this situation be improved, so I tend to bring it up when it seems
important.
I'm not sure what this has to do with my lack of social skills.
