I liked most of what I read (I didn't finish after I found too many comments that bothered me), but the comments about African programmers and diversity were too much as a non-white male programmer myself.

A very easy read that should be read by every teacher, administrator and corporate employee. Epps hits all of the self importance of the "me generation " and "it is not my fault". Good advice with a hard view of "how to succeed".

I found this very interesting and pithy window into the life of the programmer. It's good to see Paul telling it like it is without fear or favour. I copied some of his comments to pass along to my friends and colleagues who have the same outlook. A good follow up from the Road to Serendipity x

Entertaining at times and always real...I could definitely relate to some of the observations! Thanks for the Goodreads giveaway.
