About the Book
2018 was a pretty good year. I taught workshops in San Francisco, Oregon and Berlin, coached people from around the world, and developed Software Leader Seminar, a self- paced leadership course. But the thing I’ve worked hardest on, and the thing I’m proudest of, is my writing. My goal has always been to connect with people, both managers and developers, and help them learn how to build – and be part of – happy teams that produce valuable work.
With that in mind, I decided to collect some of my best writing from 2018 and offer it to you here in one place. Any collection of pieces written
over time has a few oddities – bits of chronology that don’t quite fit, references to current (now in the past) events. But overall, I hope you can find as much usefulness in these articles as my original readers did. So read on for 2018’s best!
