Quotes from readers -

... I am going through psychotherapy right now, I also think about issues with work, learning process, etc... this book will help a lot of people out there who struggle a little bit from various factors.

The book has made an impression on me as I could relate to a lot of the stuff you wrote about developers and the disconnect between work and personal life, I have had a number of episode where I experienced impostor syndrome and almost changed my career path, I'm glad I didn't and thanks to you and other writers who debunk the myth that developers are not people.

I was very surprised by the initial overview. Not the content I was expecting. Intriguing.

*****

A guide to increasing your skill set as a software engineer to the next level by debugging yourself and your emotions.

Contrary to what us nerds like to claim - nerds and geeks are extremely emotional creatures. We just reserve them for code and computers and robots. Everything else is deemed inessential. And it works against us in the long run.

We have to deal with the messiness of the real world and all the emotions that come with it. This book is about how to leverage emotions and mindfulness to become a better software engineer.

I forgo all the usual technical advice/training but focus on the principles and characteristics that a good software engineer follows that are not exactly hard or soft skills - but a blend of both. It's more about who you are as a person rather than your hardcore technical skills.

Just like programming, its an adventure to delve into your own mind. You can debug yourself - this book shows you how.

PS - I am always looking for feedback. Did you love something or hate something? Perhaps found the whole thing meh?
