If you dare to call yourself a software engineer, IMHO this is an absolute _must_ read.
Many things are still relevant.
The ones which aren't any more will tell you how much we evolved in IT in the last 50 years.

This book (The Mythical Man Month) is an example of why books can be so important and influential even decades later.
Written in 1975, in a very different time, about software engineering: some parts are still relevant today.
The parts that don’t change that much.

"The Bible of Software Engineering" — "everybody quotes it, some people read it, and few people go by it".
When I saw that quote it resonated with my prior exposure to the title, and I put it on my reader right away for same day start.
This is severely lacking in our professional education as well.
