  • The Software Engineer's Guidebook - Navigating senior tech lead and staff engineer positions at tech companies and startups - cover

    The Software Engineer's...

    In my first few years as a developer I assumed that hard work was all I needed. Then I was passed over for a promotion and my manager couldn’t give me feedback on what areas to improve, so I could get to the senior engineer level. I was frustrated; even bitter: not as much about missing the promotion, but because of the lack of guidance. 
    By the time I became a manager, I was determined to support engineers reporting to me with the kind of feedback and support I wish I would have gotten years earlier. And I did. While my team tripled over the next two years, people became visibly better engineers, and this progression was clear from performance reviews and promotions. 
    This book is a summary of the advice I’ve given to software engineers over the years – and then some more. 
    This book follows the structure of a “typical” career path for a software engineer, from starting out as a fresh-faced software developer, through being a role model senior/lead, all the way to the staff/principle/distinguished level. It summarizes what I’ve learned as a developer and how I’ve approached coaching engineers at different stages of their careers. 
    We cover “soft” skills which become increasingly important as your seniority increases, and the “hard” parts of the job, like software engineering concepts and approaches which help you grow professionally. 
    Praise for the book 
    “From performance reviews to P95 latency, from team dynamics to testing, Gergely demystifies all aspects of a software career. This book is well named: it really does feel like the missing guidebook for the whole industry.” – Tanya Reilly, principal engineer and author of The Staff Engineer's Path 
    "Spanning a huge range of topics from technical to social in a concise manner, this belongs on the desk of any software engineer looking to grow their impact and their career." – James Stanier, Director of Engineering at Shopify

    Urban life is a dynamic tapestry woven from the threads of culture, innovation, and diversity. Cities, as epicenters of human activity, have always held a magnetic allure, drawing people in with the promise of opportunity, connectivity, and growth. From the ancient cities of Mesopotamia to the sprawling metropolises of today, urban centers have evolved into places where human ambition and creativity flourish. Understanding the essence of urban life requires a deep dive into the social, cultural, and economic forces that shape these vibrant hubs of civilization. 
    At their core, cities are defined by their density and diversity. They bring together individuals from all walks of life, creating a melting pot of cultures, languages, and traditions. This diversity fosters a unique cultural ecosystem where ideas intersect, and innovation thrives. The exchange of knowledge, whether through bustling markets, collaborative workplaces, or artistic endeavors, is one of the defining characteristics of urban living. Cities are not just physical spaces; they are living entities that embody the collective energy of their inhabitants. 
    Urban life is also deeply intertwined with the physical structure of the city. Streets, buildings, and public spaces are more than mere infrastructure—they serve as stages for human interaction and expression. Urban planning and architecture play crucial roles in shaping the experience of city life, influencing everything from how people move and interact to how they feel within their environment. Well-designed urban spaces can foster community, encourage sustainability, and enhance the overall quality of life for city dwellers.
