I've just published my first book. The central argument is simple: software development is a design activity, not a construction activity — and confusing the two is the root cause of most project failures. Written for developers, managers, and anyone who has ever wondered why building software is so much harder than it looks.
It's on Amazon in both Kindle and paperback formats.

- schipperai 5mo agoI like the overall premise and would be curious to learn more. The Amazon overview reads like it was written with or by AI though.
- jimako 5mo agoRoss, who kindly wrote the first review, was a reviewer of the book before it was published. He is a real person with over 30 years of experience in software development.
- nateb2022 5mo agoSimply in the pages I've read through the "Read Sample," I have never seen so many emdashes used in my life. This has got to be AI generated.
- jimako 5mo agoNo, not AI generated. I use em and en dashes all the time -- many of us older dudes do :). The book text contains a lot of EN dashes, not EM dashes, except in the page number footer on the first pages of each chapter, and in the About page.
