Nice reference. Gonna have to binge some Twilight Zone now. I can't find the exact quote from Highlander (TV series, not the movie) where Duncan has a friend, the "best swordsman in Europe", but he says something like, "don't ever be the best... God forbid you lose your nerve but they keep coming." Found the episode at least [0].
Just want to put a very strong second on this recommendation. Three chapters in I knew enough to prototype something for work that reduced a mess of C++ to a couple pages of rules.
I find the office caricatures interesting - the balding, tubby old guy at the end isn’t nodding knowingly at the young guy confirming the effectiveness of the hand motion trick by the sleazy manager, he’s nodding like he’s been taken in by it. This seems to deliberately communicate a lot in kind of distopic way.
When one of the pumps on my aerobic system died a few years back it was less than 24 hours before the drains were backed up. If your soil won't pass a perc test I guess you can just go with aerobic which allows you to build pretty much anywhere. The final stage sprays effluent on your yard.
Crazy. I was just shopping for this book last night but got hung up on different editions. This one[1] also claims to be the 3rd Edition but looks to have an early publish date. I guess go with whatever's newest?

When I saw the title I thought it would be the old Jack Ganssle article which is also worth a look if you're interested in this topic: http://www.ganssle.com/debouncing.htm
I thought this recent post: 'Generating More of My Favorite Aphex Twin Track'[1] had a good beginner-level write up on Markov Chains.
