Curious to hear folks opinion on the newer Software Design for Flexibility: How to Avoid Programming Yourself into a Corner (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0262045494)?

It’s a much, much denser successor to sicp. I hadn’t succeeded in self-studying with it despite strong lisp/scheme chops and strong affinity for sicp.

I have a copy. Found it fun, but not quite as mind shifting. I think I need to try it again, but I am curious how others feel.
