Following a shockingly successful run on nerd TikTok, the Old Coder Guy franchise is making a dent in traditional print media, with Old Coder Guy Book 1 Each chapter of this book is an essay about an aspect of technology, management, leadership, and how to learn in these domains The book talks about the tech careers that you dont see in the headlines the jobs that most of us have, where were grinding away on the 99 of the products and systems that arent launched by turtleneckwearing holes on a conference center stage A bit of career advice, a bit of management and leadership advice, and absurd stories about things going wrong more often than they went right Most books make a straight run at topics like management, but Old Coder Guy flanks that s o b and pops out from the box hedge its walking past, where it will never see me coming until after Ive taken out its knees with our three iron of wisdom If you only plan to read three books in your lifetime then this should definitely not be one of them But the fourth? Again, still no Look, with regard to the helpfulness and reliability of this book description in the face of what seems to be your impossibly high standards, we could sit here pointing fingers and playing hesaid, shesaid all day, but in the end, were just two people One of them who has written this book, and the other of whom is looking for a book This is the smell and taste of boltoflightening, meanttobe karma, and that man in front of you, sweaty and glistening, with arms extended holding out this book, is me, meeting you what honestly feels like well over halfway Its time to ask yourself if youd rather be right, or rather be reading Also, theres a lot of profanity, so you may not want to gift it to Gramgram for her birthday, unless shes a fun grandma who likes to code and party
