Well, when me and my friends started using "VC techniques" it was about 50 years ago, and I'm quite sure none of us had heard of, let alone read that book.

In case you haven't figured it out by this point, I'm saying that "VC proponents" really have little or no influence at this point and it's a good thing, because their views on infrastructure were ridiculous. The "technique" stuff is usually just stating the obvious, or making doctrinaire statements about one lane position or another being inherently superior for all or almost all conditions, generalizations that the "proponents" can't even agree on and, in my experience, bear little or no resemblance to dealing with the instant conditions IRL.

Funny you waited a month to bump the thread by just reposting something you've already said. Sorry nobody is buying the guru bit, but if selling a few books is sufficient for you to consider a movement alive, mazel tov. Oh and BTW: currently #921,827 in Kindle Store, #1,826,601 in Books.
