Should be required reading

I do feel that this should be required reading for anybody serious about doing software development. If you are a junior programmer or fresh out of college, I don't really care what you know (or think you know) you should read this book cover to cover. If you are a more advanced you can still find some value in it or at least show it to the junior programmers and tell them that you aren't the only person who cares about variable names :)

I just felt this really reminded and enforced the idea that software craftsmanship is worth spending some time on and quality code/coding standards make life easier for everybody.
