How to Stop Sucking and Be Awesome Instead
A Software, Computer Science, Science book. Reading self-help advice from other people, however well-intentioned, is no substitute for getting your own damn work done....
Jeff Atwood began the Coding Horror blog in 2004, and is convinced that it changed his life. He needed a way to keep track of software development over time – whatever he was thinking about or working on. He researched subjects he found interesting, then documented his research with a public blog post, which he could easily find and refer to later. Over time, increasing numbers of blog visitors found the posts helpful, relevant and interesting. Now, approximately 100,000 readers visit the blog per day and nearly as many comment and interact on the site.In “How to Stop Sucking and Be Awesome Instead” you’ll find a thought-provoking and entertaining collection of Jeff’s writings on several programming-related topics.

But I still enjoyed it. I didn't enjoy the many hyperlinks - not useful on a Kindle far from the Internet (although there were quoted text in the book as well). Another Blog-To-Book thingie - noticeable worse than the 1st one Jeff (famous @codinghorror) created few years ago. Some posts are remarkable, namely:* "Are you an expert?"* "On our project, we're always 90 percent done"* "How to become a better programmer by not programming"* "Who's your coding buddy?"* "Computer crime, then and now"but...
