(Is that book still being read? 48 years after it was written. It was a classic in my study days, and that is long ago.)
It depends on how you measure productivity. Without that huge crowd of open source developers, we wouldn't have a choice of 32 different distros and 23 file systems to choose from.
I have been working with proprietary systems providing a single file system for their machine! On the one system, the OS existed in just two main variants. That says something about how a proprietary environment kills creativity and productivity.
Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.

I would still recommend it to anyone studying Systems Engineering, and to many managers.

The act of writing Code and writing Prose is the same. They both use the same mental processes, have language constructs and audiences, and require significant focus to be effective. Once upon a time, there was a variable named 'i'...

While chemical batteries are governed by classical laws of physics, microscopic particles are quantum in nature, so we have a chance to explore ways of using them that bend or even break our intuitive notions of what takes place at small scales When in doubt, slap a "quantum" on it. That solves everything.
Wake me up when they're at Radio Shack.
(I know, I'll be waiting a while - they have to recreate Radio Shack first. Maybe QUANTUM Radio Shack?)
