CommitStrip #2
Rise of The Coders
Coders are the inventors of our time. With their lines of code and their applications, they innovate and turn our world and our economy upside down.
This is a book about their daily lives. Their triumphs and their failures. Their strokes of genius and their absurdities. It is taken from and draws on Commitstrip, a webcomic that has been illustrating the life of coders with an (almost) daily strip since 2012 and which has published more than 1,000 comic strips, all available online.

I follow CommitStrip online and I participated to the Kickstarter campaign to publish this book - and it was quite what I expected. A collection of some of the best CommitStrip pages, and some new ones.
I love the sincere love for coding of the author, and I relate to some of the strips that show some snippets from real life of developers. I think that the developer folklore is well represented here, and some things are really worth sharing (and I probably shared across the time I watched their strip)
The characters are quite nicely drawn, and they are interesting and relatable. There is no „evil” character, although some characters are placed in a bad light. And it's quite a nice step away from vilification of certain classes of characters (the way, for example, Scott Adams vilifies the managers). And this is a nice change.

Ça fait un moment que je suis le blog de CommitStrip et avoir les meilleurs strips dans une BD, c'est vraiment sympa.
Je bosse pas dans l'environnement exact des héros du livre mais je retrouve plein de trucs qui sont déjà arrivés sur des projets avec des technos différentes.
Y'a un bon humour, tout le monde en prend un peu pour son grade mais avec de la bienveillance.
La petite histoire inédite à la fin est plutôt chouette aussi.
Par contre, si vous n'êtes pas développeur ou si vous ne bossez pas dans l'IT, vous passerez à côté du bouquin.

Ääretult mõnusa huumoriga koomiksiraamat.
Nii mõnedki situatsioonid ja olukorrad tulid ka oma elust tuttavana ette. Ja näo kiskus naerule küll.
Inimestele, kes (veebi)programmerimisest mõhkugi ei jaga võib suur osa küll arusaamatuks jääda. Aga varsti on ju kõik programmerijad, eksole. :)

I am grateful to have picked this up in a time when I am most confused of what it really means to be a developer. I used to think of it as being accessible to all the new technologies and making cool stuff all the time, but of course reality does not turn out to be this way.
For quite some time, I even doubted if I have been hoping for the wrong thing, and developer is not as good as I have expected all along, and if I should go down this path.
But CommitStrip has showed me the life that every developer lives with, no matter what you do or who you work for, you constantly have to go against all forces that try to block you, just to sit down to write codes and build stuff. You would be fascinated or even overwhelmed by new frameworks/languages that come out every other week, but you still have to deal with the frustration of not being able to use the new things anytime soon.
It is good to know the reality, and even better, after all I still love to be a developer.
