Yes, just three years later he wrote "Rise & Resurrection of the 
American Programmer".  Amazing how quickly these things can reverse 
themselves!  The official summary is a masterpiece of spin, although 
still a tad hard to swallow:

   "Ed Yourdon warned the American programmer in his award-winning, 
controversial bestseller "Decline and Fall of the American Programmer" 
that if they did not change, the industry would migrate to countries 
that were more productive. The software industry has responded to this 
challenge, and Yourdon shows how in this long-awaited international 
bestseller."
