为什么值得读
- 结合桥梁建设案例阐述现实工程逻辑
- 常被工程师用于辅助理解软件工程实践
- 通过工程系统与失败案例反思人与技术关系
一个简单的设计失误是如何酿成20世纪80年代的一大惨剧——Kansas City Hyatt Regency Hotel 人行天桥坍塌事故的？是什么让那座优美而创新的 Tacoma Narrows Bridge 在1940年的一场微风中扭曲断裂？一株巨大的王莲又是如何启发了维多利亚时代建筑与工程巅峰之作——宏伟的 Crystal Palace 的诞生？这些正是 Petroski 在本书中探讨的部分失败与成功案例；该著作审视了我们关于进步与完美的最深层观念，追溯了科学的可量化领域与……之间的微妙联系

……讨论软件工程。我最近在 HN 上就这个话题的具体细节跟人争论过：https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8633616 关于这个主题我还能推荐另一本书，就是 Petroski 的《To Engineer is Human》。

我从没读过这本书，但现在当然非读不可了。我也建议读读 Henry Petroski 的作品。《The Evolution of Useful Things》、《The Pencil: A History of Design and Circumstance》和《To Engineer is Human》都论证了这样一个观点：我们周围物品的设计，与其说是源于顿悟，不如说是源于演化，是在过去的错误之上逐步迭代建立起来的。如果《The Design of Everyday Things》有一半……

"The Evolution of Useful Things", "The Pencil: A History of Design and Circumstance", and "To Engineer is Human" all make the case that the design of things around us are shaped less by insight and more by evolution, incrementally building on the mistakes of the past. If "The Design of Everyday Things" is half…
