Superpowers for Developers

Superpowers for Developers

How a little practice can mean great benefits

About the Book

What's a superpower?

In fiction, it means something outlandish - laser eyes, jumping over tall buildings, and so on. This book isn't about that.

In real life, what I call a superpower is a skill that is a) easy to acquire - a matter of a dozen or two hours at most, b) direly underdeveloped in the general population, c) that can make a tangible difference to your life and professional outcomes.

This book is about that.
