"Mythical Man Month" by Brooks is a classic read, based on IBM OS work.
It explains things like why adding new core developers actually
increases production time, why heavily process-bound programmers can
only work 4 hours a day, how only 10% of the core programmers write 90%
of the useful code, etc. I highly recommend it to anybody who expects a
professional coder to work on the code 8 hours a day.
