I respect Alexei for opening a discussion on this, and Lundin for providing hard-won real world experience. I would like to put in a "pro", on the grounds that "I read this book and I'm a better programmer for it" is information that directly supports the codidact mission of helping each other learn. It's related to the old observation that bad IT people have walls full of certifications and good ones have shelves full of books. A fair question is how to maintain adequate quality and I'm short of concrete suggestions at the moment. Lundin's attempt to limit recommendations to things the person posting has actually read seems like a reasonable minimum.
