While we're on the topic of papers to read and take to heart, the
writing that left the single biggest impression on my thoughts on
real-world software engineering was Tom Davis' now (in)famous internal
SGI memo that was circulated after the '93 disaster that was IRIX 5.1.

Still an indispensable read.
