Review: Should be a Required Reading for anyone in Software Engineering - In my opinion, this book should be a required read for anyone of any level and in any position in the software development/engineering field. This book teaches so many solid and timeless principles that could possibly take years or decades for the average person to learn, if ever. Before reading this book, I didn't know where I stood as a developer after 15 years of doing it. I'm self-taught, and also learned from my surroundings, assuming that people in higher positions than me must know better - now I never assume anything about anyone or anything. I never got much (useful) feedback but I wanted to be as good as I could be in my field. Reading this book and applying what I learned from it eventually lead to a great confidence in my way of problem solving and coding, and this confidence naturally caused me to be happier, and that's when I realized that when I'm confident and happy I produce my best work that I'm proud of. Not only do I feel like I have leveled up as a software engineer, but I also feel like I leveled up as a person. I also feel validated for a few things I was already doing, and learned that soft skills (communication, accountability, etc) are just as important as hard skills (coding). I've already convinced at least 3 developers to buy their own copy, and I'm about to suggest it to a few more, so I think I need to look up some kind of referral/commission program. This book is worth every penny and has me going back to it for reference all the time.
Review: Great book for the working software developer - I received a copy of the original edition of this book over 20 years ago and immediately used it in my introductory software engineering classes. Hunt and Thomas are skilled practitioners who can both identify key practices of the profession and write about these cogently. The current edition is an updated version, one that brings the material up-to-date without sacrificing any of the key insights from the original. Highly recommended for developers at all levels.
