About the Book
Decision-making is a vital skill for every senior software developer. Some of these decisions are easy to spot. For example, choosing a language or a framework for a new shiny greenfield project. Other ones are hidden in plain sight.
Alas, decision-making is often an undervalued skill that most developers do not study or train.
This book aims to introduce developers to some theoretical concepts about decisions and to put them in practice with exercises explained with real-life examples.
