Insightful combination of relatable stories and bite-sized takeaways
As someone who myself has been in the software industry for over 10 years, I greatly value spreading knowledge of what it is like working in the industry and what is important to understand about it.In this work, Lau shows incredible vulnerability about what mistakes he has made during his career and he does a phenomenal job tying those experiences back to lessons learned so that people who want to go into software or advance in the field can avoid some of those key mistakes and advance more quickly.In some books, it is hard to say whether the experiences are authentic but since I am also in the field of software and I resonated with all of the types of experiences he had.Wonderful book! I encourage people in the field of software or even within other areas to give it a read.
Practical advice for software engineers wanting to grow their career
I’m really impressed with this book. The advice is very practical and the author does a great job of calling upon their own experiences to illustrate each lesson’s importance. It’s obviously a great read for engineers who are aspiring to reach the senior level, but I also think that people who are already in senior (or management) positions to read this as a way to reinforce the lessons we’ve learned through many years of learning from our own mistakes.
Practical Wisdom Born of Experience
Alex puts into words so many of the pitfalls Iâve witnessed in my own SWE career (and many others).And while Iâd highly encourage anyone to read it cover to cover, heâs organized the book brilliantly so that you donât have to.If I was a manager, Iâd gift a copy of this field guide to every new hire on my team, because it jam packs 20 years of wisdom into an easily digestible masterclass of a book.
