This is a cynical, clinical collection of things I learnt in 30 years working with software development.
Again, some things are really cynical, others are long observations on different jobs.

Reader macros are perhaps not as famous as ordinary macros. While macros are a great way to create your own DSL, reader macros provide even greater flexibility by allowing you to create entirely new syntax on top of Lisp.
Paul Graham explains them very well in [On Lisp][] (Chapter 17, Read-Macros):
The three big moments in a Lisp expression's life are read-time, compile-time, and runtime. Functions are in control at runtime. Macros give us a chance to perform transformations on programs at compile-time. ...read-macros... do their work at read-time.
