book of the week: managing humans
Posted by on July 14, 2007
A book that came out a week or so ago was Managing Humans: Biting and Humurous Tales of a Software Engineering Manager, written by Michael Lopp, aka Rands. Here’s Rands’ entry announcing on the book.
I’ve met Michael and read Rands, and they’re both wonderful people 
. I ordered the book as soon as it came out. I will confess that my schedule this week has prevented me from reading more than a couple of chapters but I know what’s in there, and it’s great (a lot of the book is based on entries from Rands in Repose). This one’s a must-read, especially if you share with us that strange, high-speed, high-adrenaline, manic, fun space otherwise known as the internet/software industry.
One thing that is not in the book is the world renowned Rands Vegas System. So, that, you’ll have to read on the weblog, and you should, because it’s a riot.
Anyway, back to the book: go get it!
