Pretty much everything I wish I'd known when I first started writing serious software .. or software seriously. The zine format is perfect for this kin
Pretty much everything I wish I'd known when I first started writing serious software .. or software seriously. The zine format is perfect for this kind of guide: * For those new to software development, it is concise, clear and complete. And of course very approachable. In a short read, newcomers can probably absorb 60%+ of the "need to know" that might otherwise take years to learn. * For experienced developers, it is an easily digested and fun little refresher. There are probably techniques here that we haven't thought about consciously for years. The act of remembering can be powerful reinforcement. * In the midst of a crisis. I can easily imaging pulling out the guide to use as a thinking tool when all else has failed. The book doesn't get bogged down in teaching specific tools, as it is focused more on sharing practical techniques and methods for finding and correctly identifying bugs. Which is the most important skill - once found, most bugs are relatively easy to fix (this is even true of the case cited by Grace Hopper in 1947 that popularised the term "bug" for computer issues when operators traced an error in the Harvard Mark II to a moth trapped in a relay - a gnarly problem, but with a simple fix!) I am pretty sure that even in a future when AI is writing all our software, these are the kind skills we will still need for when they call in the expensive wetware consultants to "debug" the AI-generated disasters! Oh, and the book makes fixing bugs sound like a fun and rewarding way to spend your time. Which it can be, even if sometimes only in retrospect with rose-tinted glasses;-)

5 stars for the importance of the topic and the comprehensive historical coverage, but I really did not like the detached "great game" narrative style
5 stars for the importance of the topic and the comprehensive historical coverage, but I really did not like the detached "great game" narrative style that makes one feel as if it's all just a jolly good chess tournament. The authors main message that "managed strategic competition" may be a way out of the current spiral towards conflict. The rest of the book does feel very much like it was reverse-engineered to support this conclusion. But Mr Rudd is right when he defends in advance: critics should spend less energy tearing down his idea and more on coming up with better alternatives.
