Dreaming in Code: Two Dozen Programmers, Three Years, 4,732 Bugs, and One Quest for Transcendent Software
Technology
A narrative account of the troubled Chandler open-source project, in the tradition of project-chronicle books about software that fails to converge. Spolsky used it as the centerpiece of his essay on why software design and clear vision matter, praising it as a worthy successor to the genre's classics.

“a fascinating book in the style of Soul of a New Machine or Showstopper about a software development project that failed to converge. Highly recommended.”
From Spolsky's 2007 Joel on Software essay 'The Big Picture,' which is built around a review of the book.
