I told my last mentee to “read ‘Refactoring’ twice instead”.
GoF tells you What. ‘Refactoring’ tells you Why, and gives some pointers on How. In any field, if you know the why and the how of something, and the what doesn’t work itself out? Then you’re in the wrong field.
(He’s gotten promoted twice since we parted ways. He’ll be just fine.)
