About the Book
Why do so many smart and accomplished people immediately discount their abilities and call themselves “non-technical”?
This was us, and this question was tough to answer. So when we achieved success, we decided to write the book that we wish we could have bought when we started our technical journeys. Our hope is that you'll save years of frustration by learning from our mistakes.
Building an amazing career in technology requires both technical and communication skills. This book is a roadmap to help you squash your outdated belief systems and chart a course for success.
