Agree, I also dislike the book's pseudo-villification of management, architecture, and anything that isn't typing code in an IDE. I read it, I wouldn't recommend it to others.
- brandall10 13y agoHmmm... in that case may I recommend "The Passionate Programmer"? The guy who wrote it had a pretty interesting career trajectory - went from being a jazz musician, to a self-taught dev, working his way up to a manager of a large scale outsourced team, to a dev again doing Rails and the like. It had a feel and structure like Robert Greene's books - little 3-5 page segments focused on one idea, interspersed with personal stories and interviews illustrating the points. It seemed particularly focused on working within a corporate structure in a positive manner.
- henrik_w 13y agoYep, that's a great book, with lots of good advice. I got the first edition, which was call "My Job Went to India, and All I Got Was This Lousy Book"
