Pragmatic Engineer B.V The Software Guidebook

Has everything I would tell a more junior person about the software engineer career

I love this book! I am a junior IT professional and this book feels like I have a mentor at my fingertips. The content is so thought-provoking, inspiration in my hands giving me much-needed perspective. To become the best version of myself in my career and progress to the next levels.

This book contains some valuable insights, but many of its concepts and ideas are already covered in other sources. Some sections are a bit oversimplified, and there are several printing errors throughout, including missing fonts and typos. While it can be a helpful supplementary read, you’ll be disappointed if you treat it as software engineering gospel.

I ordered this after following the Pragmatic Engineer newsletter for years and I am glad I bought this book! Has great useful advice for multiple stages of your career so you can continuously look towards the next step

Exactly the kind of information was missing in my career. Easy to read and follow. I have recommended this to my colleagues already even the ones not in tech.

Pensavo al solito fuffaguru quando mi ci sono imbattuto in una sponsorizzazione su Reddit o Facebook. E invece è davvero un libro interessante che spiega le scelte da fare per avere successo nella carriera di Software Engineering. È il libro che qualsiasi Dev dovrebbe leggere (soprattutto i junior); se siete in posizioni senior, potete confrontare le proprie scelte ed adeguarle per avere successo. Il succo del libro, a parte il metodo per gestire team, comunicare col business ecc, è: "il successo non è dettato dal solo denaro, ma anche da altri aspetti che spesso nessuno prendere considerazione, soprattutto chi è alle prime armi" (dev in consulenza, questo è per voi).
