icecurtain 's review for:
The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master
by David Thomas, Andrew Hunt
I have to say, I'm not used to foley work in a non-fiction audiobook. Interesting touch.
I thought a book on programming wouldn't carry over well to audio form. However, the others took pains to keep the code examples very simple and generic.
What I found most interesting is how the authors noted the programming examples are inserted dynamically into the book - it wasn't copied and pasted, it's essentially "compiled" into the text of the manuscript, making it easy to modify, test and "deploy" the code to the book.
I appreciate their commitment to sound password advice and how they debunk oft-heard guidance like "users should have to change their passwords regularly."
Interesting perspective on scrum - and the authors are two of the signatories of the scrum manifesto. They describe how most companies form a "cargo cult" around adopting a few scrum terms and ceremonies, but don't use them effectively, not actually realizing the true purpose of scrum. It seems the purpose it to do whatever is most effective in your situation, to keep experimenting and observing what actually works the best. I appreciate that; in my experience, every tech company claims to follow scrum, but actually doesn't.
