Review: This book shows you how to cope with the typical insanities of the average software development environment to get good code in spite of dubious management decisions and internal politics, showing how the art of strategy is just as important as the ability to code. It is a collection of simple and practical observations and techniques for putting yourself in as much control as possible. The book begins by explaining the problems that are prevalent in the job, helping you to overcome them, and explaining how to find and keep a job. This new edition addresses ‘building a better career’. It looks at the career options, then at all the dos and don’ts, when it comes to rising above the herd and getting hired.
