Books

This book is an anthology of posts on people and project management from 2008 to 2010, when the author was a manager and was roaming between management training sessions. It started as a blog, Management Bits and Tips: Reflections on Software Engineering and Software Technical Support Management, which now survives as a Facebook page, ManagementBits. When the author returned to engineering after management in 2009, he wanted to publish a book with the original title, Management Bits: An Anthology from Reductionist Manager. Around 2015, he changed its title to Critique of Management Reason: Management Bits and Tips from Can't and added a few more bits as late as 2017.

What if the Bhagavad Gita began with a code review? A Merge Request adds two harmless getters to an immutable Money Value Object. The tests pass. The pipeline is green.

Standing between the DDD Alliance and the Just Ship It Legion, he turns to Krishna for guidance on domain truth, technical karma, architectural duty, knowledge crunching, entropy—and the dangerous illusion that a working implementation must also be a truthful model. The Logs of the Bhagavad Gita is an affectionate, technically serious and occasionally irresponsible encounter between ancient philosophy and modern software development. No framework will attain enlightenment. Your Aggregate Root might.
