"Observability Engineering" Book Review

Mon, 23 May 2022 14:39:43 +0000

A great, new book “Observability Engineering” came out very recently and I had to jump on reading it. Since it is very closely related to my work, I devoured the pages and read the book in about a day (505 pages). While doing so I wrote down some thoughts that I want to share with you today. They might or might not be true, I am only speaking about the book from my own perspective. Feel free to share your own thoughts!

2018 in books

Intro

2018 is coming to a close and so I thought that it would be a good idea to again look back on the books that I have read in 2018 and to share what books I have liked the most with my readers. I will mark the most liked books in bold like Aaron Swartz did in his lists. Also, I will expand a bit under the books which I liked the most and which are kind of controversial.

Review of Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People" for programmers

Programmers and IT people are often shunned for being shy, timid, fearful, or just in general - we are being thought of someone who have no social (soft) skills. If you can in any way identify with this sentiment - you definitely would be rewarded deeply for reading this book and implementing the suggested tips in your own life. But let us start at the beginning - who is the author, who is he known for, and so on, and then I will tell you why you should deliciously digest this book.
