She tries to survive in what feels like a heartless and uncaring bureaucracy and to work within a system where no one can get anything done without endless committees, paperwork, and approvals. One day, she is approached by a ragtag bunch of misfits who say they want to overthrow the existing order, to liberate developers, to bring joy back to technology work.

Publisher's summary
Technical knowledge alone isn't enough - increase your software development income by leveling up your soft skills
Early in his software developer career, John Sonmez discovered that technical knowledge alone isn't enough to break through to the next income level - developers need "soft skills" like the ability to learn new technologies just in time, communicate clearly with management and consulting clients, negotiate a fair hourly rate, and unite teammates and coworkers in working toward a common goal.
What you will learn in this book:
- How to systematically find and fill the gaps in your technical knowledge so you can face any new challenge with confidence
- Should you take contract work - or hold out for a salaried position? Which will earn you more, what the tradeoffs are, and how your personality should sway your choice
- Should you learn JavaScript, C#, Python, C++? How to decide which programming language you should master first
- Ever notice how every job ever posted requires "3-5 years of experience," which you don't have? Simple solution for this frustrating chicken-and-egg problem that allows you to build legitimate job experience while you learn to code
- Is earning a computer science degree a necessity - or a total waste of time? How to get a college degree with maximum credibility and minimum debt
- Coding boot camps - some are great, some are complete scams. How to tell the difference so you don't find yourself cheated out of $10,000
- Interviewer tells you, "Dress code is casual around here - the development team wears flipflops." What should you wear?
- How do you deal with a boss who's a micromanager. Plus how helping your manager with his goals can make you the MVP of your team
- The technical skills that every professional developer must have - but no one teaches you (most developers are missing some critical pieces, they don't teach this stuff in college, you're expected to just "know" this)
Featured Article: The Best Audiobooks and Podcasts for Programmers
If you’re looking for the best audiobooks and podcasts about programming, you might be a programmer looking for resources and new perspectives to expand your knowledge. Or maybe you’re a newcomer still wondering if it's even possible to learn how to program from a book. Whether you’re brand new to programming or you’ve been fluent in Python, Java, C#, and the like for years, there are tons of great audio resources available to help you hone your skills.

Enter the age of the empowered buyer, one who no longer has to rely on a sales rep to research their challenges or learn more about how a company’s offering might fit their needs. Now, with more than 60 percent of purchasing decisions made in the absence of a sales rep, the role of the rep itself has been called into question.

When two Stanford graduate students set out to create a new kind of cigarette that wouldn’t kill them, they didn’t foresee all the obstacles that lay ahead — or the powerful forces their invention would unleash. Nearly 10 years after the launch of the JUUL, Backfired: The Vaping Wars asks: Could e-cigarettes have been the solution to one of the world’s most pressing public health problems—or was this technology doomed to introduce a whole new generation to nicotine, and end up perpetuating an intractable addiction?

Superintelligence asks the questions: What happens when machines surpass humans in general intelligence? Will artificial agents save or destroy us? Nick Bostrom lays the foundation for understanding the future of humanity and intelligent life. The human brain has some capabilities that the brains of other animals lack. It is to these distinctive capabilities that our species owes its dominant position. If machine brains surpassed human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could become extremely powerful - possibly beyond our control.

The grid is an accident of history and of culture, in no way intrinsic to how we produce, deliver and consume electrical power. Yet this is the system the United States ended up with, a jerry-built structure now so rickety and near collapse that a strong wind or a hot day can bring it to a grinding halt. The grid is now under threat from a new source: renewable and variable energy, which puts stress on its logics as much as its components.

Artificial intelligence does the seemingly impossible - driving cars, trading stocks, and teaching children. But facing the sea change that AI will bring can be paralyzing. How should companies set strategies, governments design policies, and people plan their lives for a world so different from what we know? In Prediction Machines, three eminent economists recast the rise of AI as a drop in the cost of prediction. With this single, masterful stroke, they lift the curtain on the AI-is-magic hype and show how basic tools from economics provide clarity about the AI revolution and a basis for action by CEOs, managers, policy makers, investors, and entrepreneurs.

Required For All Software Developers
I’ve been a fan of John Sonmez for a couple years now, so when I knew he was coming out with this book I just had to have it. This book is a must have for any software developer. I would even go as far as saying this book has fallen somewhere in the pantheon of the greats much like Clean Code by “Uncle Bob”, which is referenced by John multiple times. John tells it how it is with a no bullshit approach, he is funny, informative, and he knows what he is talking about. As a “newer” developer This book has been very helpful, informative on my next steps to take my career to the next level, and motivational. Definitely worth the money, definitely worth the credit, I can’t recommend this book enough. John, you knocked it out of the park, you are awesome!

If you want a good understanding of programming...
THEN GET THIS BOOK. As A Self Taught Programmer, you tend to stumble until you get the right information, hopefully at the right time and fingers crossed with the right understanding of what to do with that information when you get it...if you get lucky enough to have gained just a small understanding of the programing language you want to use.
There is more to being a Programmer than just coding.
Being A Programmer Is A Way of Life If You Are Serious about being a Programmer.
I Had Absolutely no idea how to enter that world, let alone the proper way to Interact you the tech industry outside of A Tech Conference Here And There...
And believe you me when I tell you I was Extremely Under prepared, Uninformed and did not know it, but understood there was Vital Information Key to My Being A Professional Programmer That I did not Possess and did not understand how to go about getting that information.
Then I Started Listening To This Audiobook and literally my programming life changed overnight.
This audiobook has literally been THAT RIGHT INFORMATION AT THE RIGHT TIME. So Many Topics , Concepts and Proper Protocol were covered in This Audiobook that I can honestly say as A Newbie I would Have never figured it out or Even thought to Consider.
I literally got smarter just by listening to the Audiobook.
This Audiobook is All the missing pieces that nobody in the tech industry ever covers and seems to think is Standard Knowledge.
If you want to be a Programmer, Think Like A Programmer And Understand What It Really Means to Enter the Tech Industry as A Professional Programmer then this Book Will Be A God Send.
I Have Read A Few Tech Books and Watched Many " How To Be A Programmer" Youtube Videos, this is by far the best resource and most complete covering of the Topic I have Ever Come Across. It has taken me years to get the little bits and pieces of information I have gathered...the Audiobook just literally pulled all that information together and made it make sense in a way that Programming is no longer the thing I am trying to understand while trying to learn and create while trying to understand what I am doing.
This Book Covers The PROFESSIONAL way to Interact with the people and businesses in the Tech Industry.
This Book Will Not TEACH YOU TO CODE.
This Book Will Teach You What to do Once You Start Your Coding Journey and will plug A Lot Of Holes in The Information You Receive Through the Process.
If you do not have a tech background or new to the Professional TECH world and/or self taught like me then download this Book today.
It does not cover Languages in depth but more of the concepts of Coding.
IT IS Explained in a way that YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE PROGRAMMER ALREADY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS BEING SAID.
John Sense if humor is a little jokey jokey and plain out goofy....at first... at least the first few chapters (I was annoyed at first... until I realized HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT) After getting "His Sense of Humor" I Started to get More Information from him than Jokes.
He Can Be Silly at Times But More often than Not He Giving Out Gems Of Wisdom And REALLY GOOD INFORMATION Evey step of the way.
This Is That Audiobook That You Actually Learn While Listening and Come Away With Such A Deep Understanding Of What Being A Professional Programmer Is And Isn't.
Very Much Worth The 20 Hour Listen.

Lifechanging!!!
I was expecting a rather specific and subject focussed career guide to the programming industry, but instead I was faced with a broad spectrum guide to living life to the fullest, but from the perspective of a programmer. Don't misunderstand me -- this is an awesome career guide for working or starting in the computer industry, but some of the broader fringe material that John Sonmez speaks about in this book is the most inspirational. And it's all dictated in such a casual, easy listening manner. If you are a good listener -- the kind of person who can maintain eye contact with the other person conversing in the room whilst concentrating on what they have to say -- then listening to this will feel like the author is in the room speaking to you personally. A real breath of fresh air.!

Super helpful, but I'm not the intended audience
Halfway through listening to this book I texted my friend that it felt like I got accidentally let into a boy's club meeting I am not supposed to be at. Don't get me wrong-- I loved this book. It was really helpful, I learned a ton, and it was definitely worth the listen. The extra materials you get access to are also definitely worth it. However...
As a woman who is pursuing a career in software development, I felt as though I am not an intended audience for this book at all and women are an afterthought (and a chapter put in at the end of the production cycle because an editor said something about it). It's primary, intended audience is male software developers, which makes sense because there are more men in the field, but I felt like just a few little things would have made it better and more equitable that don't involve a special segregated chapter with a disclaimer.
For example, at one point he compares trying to get a job to harassing a woman at a bar who has no interest in you and encourages the reader to not take no for an answer. He said that companies, like that woman, actually want you to succeed in picking them up. Now having been a woman harassed at a bar who really just wanted to be left alone (for real- not playing hard to get here), this is a horrible metaphor. I agree that you shouldn't give up on your first rejection when it comes to a job or something like that. But take no for an answer if a woman (or anyone) turns down your romantic or sexual advances. Not taking no for an answer in a potentially romantic or sexual scenario violates consent and is really not okay. Respect women's boundaries. And beyond that, women are not prizes to be won or earned or gained like a job. We are people, and I think most of us would appreciate not being compared to some kind of advancement prize or career gain. I almost quit listening after that, but I didn't.
There's also a section on how to dress for a software development job where he goes into detail about what you should wear, makes a side comment about not trusting women to tell you if your outfit is good for the job or not, and pretty much neglects women entirely. The supplemental materials connected to that chapter have checklists for men's fashion for work and there isn't a corresponding one for women or even an acknowledgment that he knows it's missing and he isn't qualified to speak on it, which is totally fair - I wouldn't go to him for fashion advice anyway- but an acknowledgement that it's missing wouldn't send the message that only men are software developers.
There's also a chapter on women in tech, which was ok I guess, but it felt like an afterthought. I don't expect him to write about that or even devote that much attention to it necessarily, but it felt a little forced.
Now all that said, I listened to the whole thing and read a lot of the supplemental materials. I decided to take the whole sitting in on a boy's club meeting I'm not supposed to be at feeling and use it as practice for when I'm inevitably in that situation in real life in my future career. I still highly recommend the book, but know what you're getting into.
