Reading List

Some books read so far

How To Lead Self-Managing Teams?: A business novel on changing leadership from sheepherding to beekeeping Rini van Solingen, 2016 Nice novel with some thoughts on self-managing teams. The content itself did not seem overly groundbreaking.
Team Topologies - Organizing Business and Technology Teams for Fast Flow Manuel Pais, Matthew Skelton, 2019 Really enjoyed the content of this book. Gives important ideas and vocabulary to talk about how teams can work together in a bigger company.
Project to Product: How to Survive and Thrive in the Age of Digital Disruption with the Flow Framework Mik Kersten, 2019 Interesting ideas, but from the perspective of a developer seems to be full of management speak and didn't really lead to any epiphanies.
Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship Robert C. Martin, 2008 A classic, that still everybody writing code should read. Learned a lot from this book and will probably come back to it many times.
The Mythical Man-Month. Essays on Software Engineering. Anniversary Edition Frederick P. Brooks, 1995 Also a classic for a reason, that I want to refer to regularly in daily work conversations. Gives you perspective on how the fundamental problems in creating sw products haven't changed in over 20 years.
The Unicorn Project: A Novel about Developers, Digital Disruption, and Thriving Gene Kim, 2019 Novel about IT and software development in a company. Initially wasn't a fan of the writing style, however was convinced of the book in the end. As strange as it sounds, it's a feel good book about software development, dealing with very relatable problems in the corporate software development world.
