Resumen del Editor

Learn what you need to succeed as a developer beyond the code. The lessons in this book will supercharge your career by sharing lessons and mistakes from real developers.

Wouldn't it be nice to learn from others' career mistakes? "Soft" skills are crucial to success but are haphazardly picked up on the job or, worse, never learned. Understanding these competencies and how to improve them will make you a more effective team member and a more attractive hire.

This book will teach you the key skills you need, including how to ask questions, how and when to use common tools, and how to interact with other team members. Each will be presented in context and from multiple perspectives so you'll be able to integrate them and apply them to your own career quickly. What you'll learn:

• Know when the best code is no code
• Understand what to do in the first month of your job
• See the surprising number of developers who can't program
• Avoid the pitfalls of working alone

Critically valuable

I am a student working in cyber (not directly software development) but have spent two summers interning as a dev. The lessons Dan lays out are in line with my experience and contain wisdom that only comes with time and dedication. It has been tremendously valuable for me and I plan to share extensively with everyone at my university that will listen. In my humble opinion, this book is the best and most approachable way to understand soft skills in tech. I would say it should be required reading however I think I gain a competitive edge having read it and don’t wish to sacrifice it.

¡Excelente!

Este es un contenido valioso para quienes se adentran en el maravilloso mundo de la tecnología. Los consejos detallados resultan de mucha ayuda para iniciar y desarrollarse en un ambiente tecnológico. 100% recomendado.

Fantastic listen

I wish I had come across this book when I started my career in software development. The author's extensive experience working in various types of companies, both large and small, and in diverse roles and technologies provides valuable insights to readers. Whether you are new to software development or unsure of your next steps at any point in your career, this book is an invaluable resource.
