It's not a "tech" book, as if it were a 2008 book on how to use a specific version of Access. It's on programming practices. Most good programming books from 20 or 30 years ago are still relevant today. Instead of acting smug with your jackie chan meme(?) you could just ask next time. I hate these one line "zingers" people drop like this is twitter.
Uncle Bob books were constantly suggested as good go-to programming books here on HN for years, though in the past ~4 years they tides have finally turned against him. And thankfully, Martin Fowler too.
This is addressed in the second to last paragraph of the blog post: The 'last straw' that made the author write that post was Robert Martin doubling down on his advice, even today.

I have 211+ programming books in my library going back to 1998. I don't consider any books from 16 years ago to be valuable or relevant today.
