I’ve got the extract from “The ‘Ivory Tower’ Architect is a Myth.” In the paragraph that begins “Pure technical architects” the word “reigns” should be “reins.”

The sentence should read “At the same time, the developer who isn’t given the reins to think high-level also doesn’t get the chance to voice a second opinion.”

In the first paragraph, third sentence, you have the word “me” when you meant to have the word “my”. It should read, “That’s one less moment of having to move my eyes …”.

Also, I notice that the errata links on the bottoms of the pages don’t cause the page number to be automatically filled in on the errata web page.

Essay 48, last paragraph before “Uncovering Repeatable Coding Tasks”.

28TYPO

Paragraph 5, Line 6: ‘My five to five hours of billable time…’
This sounds strange, probably ‘four to five hours’ was meant.

65TYPO

Essay 27, The Simplicity Paradox, Paragraph 3: ‘There is one unique matching results for the phrase…’
‘results’ should be singular.

76-78TYPO

Method and field names don’t start consistently with upper or lower case letters.

Examples:
on page 76: GetBonusForEmployee
on page 77: getBonusForEmployee

employee.department is lower case but employee.Salary and employee.Years are upper case

on page 78, first paragraph: CalculateBonus() method
on page 78, third paragraph: getBonusForEmployee() method

again one method is spelled upper case and the other one lower case
