What people on Hacker News said
I learn new things every time I read it, but the best part is how insanely funny Joel is when he tells stories about working on the early microsoft products.
Don't know if it qualifies but I believe all Joel Spolskys books are fun and about tech.
Joel on Software - practical advice for both the leader and the developer. I still reference it frequently.
