  I've read Managing Humans (his first book). If you like the writing style from his blog posts, then you can expect more of the same. It's a good read, though perhaps a little abstract. If you're looking for a step-by-step guide for managing software teams then Managing Humans probably isn't for you. However, if you want ideas and concepts that you can play with, then it's worth your time.

  I read Managing Humans a while back, when I was a programmer, and liked it. Then, a year later, after I'd started working as a manager, I read it again and found it amazing. Seriously, having seen how things work as an actual manager, I was able to relate much more to all his stories and characters, which are spot-on, and got a lot of help from this book.

  I read Being Geek on a plane the week it came out. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I'd recommend it to anyone else who loves the blog. Seriously, if this article doesn't motivate you to spend $10 on the Kindle version then you might not want to read the book: http://www.randsinrepose.com/archives/2009/05/10/the_screwme_scenario.html http://www.randsinrepose.com/archives/2009/05/10/the_screwme...
