Its about fundamental of software engineering. Read it to be a mature dev, test or pm. Thanks Eric. You are awesome.
I first heard about this book when I read the following review on about.com:http: // visualbasic . about.com / od / vbbooks / fr / Br9780735661707.htmIt piqued my interest, despite my being retired, and having known for some years that I would never be interested in becoming manager of software projects -- definitely moot at this point! Many years ago, I dipped my little piggies into project leadership (not even real management!),and have remained emotionally scarred ever since.When I started reading this book, my initial reaction was that the author was a self-centered, opinionated, arrogant jerk with way too much self-confidence. But then he's a relatively senior manager at Microsoft -- that's probably par for the course: he wouldn't be where he is if he wasn't capable nor full of confidence! His prose is, er, entertaining, and doesn't pull any punches -- intentionally so; he does it for effect, and to get a reaction (these were articles originally written for an internal publication at Microsoft). It took a while for me to get over this, and start listening to him (while gritting my teeth).I didn't find the first few chapters terribly absorbing, but I stuck with it, and gradually things started to get more interesting, until -- around Chapter 5 -- I found material I could really relate to.It was interesting to read in this book so many of the tenets that should have been followed at one of my former employers (a very large software company), but weren't. This book suggests very strongly that Microsoft has a much better handle than my former employer (a Microsoft competitor) had on how to develop software. Of course, I take with a giant pinch of salt how true the Microsoft characterization really is, from a very pro-Microsoft author. He talks in highly glowing terms about how Microsoft is the best company in the world, and such. However, he hits on so many points that I saw first-hand were weak points at my former employer. While things have probably changed there since I left, I suspect that they are still very undisciplined -- cowboys, to use the author's terminology.The book can be viewed at a number of levels:1) An insight into what happens inside Microsoft software development. Specific, but still interesting to anyone in the software industry.2) A "How To" book on managing teams of software developers -- the description is very Microsoft-specific, referring to terminology and tools used there, but pulling back a little, the advice could easily be used very profitably in other environments.3) A "How To" book for individual contributors on how to think and act in order to make the appropriate choices in career development, in Microsoft or any other reasonably well-informed software development organization. Also, to find out how enlightened (or otherwise) your current employer might be.It is well worth reading, if you are a software engineer/developer, a software designer/architect, or software development manager, or plan to be in any of these roles. It describes so many of the things you will have to deal with in any software development organization, not only in Microsoft. In fact, if you pull back a little bit further, much of the sage advice given is applicable to lots of different organizations, even outside of software development.Some points:The author is continually emphasizing -- quite correctly -- how it's critical for the software engineers and managers, et. al. to ensure that the customer has a delightful experience (the currently fashionable expression). That does not jibe with my experience of Microsoft products, which continue to annoy the heck out of me, from operating systems (Windows) which require me to continually update them to keep them working properly to the point where I spend more time doing that than real work, to installable products that have a less than "delightful" install experience.Towards the end of the book, the author compares Microsoft with Google and Apple, and predicts that Microsoft will beat them over time with continually improved products. Well, Apple is now a truly dominant player in the computer market, having been extremely successful designing and marketing its iPhone, iPod, iPad, and its various Mac computers. It is very clear that they have been far more successful with "delighting" customers than has Microsoft. His take on Google is also that it will fail w.r.t. Microsoft, but his arguments didn't convince me, and seemed to be overly Microsoft-centric. Things have moved on since the book was written, and I suspect his conclusions haven't born out. How they will continue is anyone's guess.Not an easy read, but recommended!==== Update, March 6, 2012 =====It just happened that the very next book I read after this one was Steven Johnson's "Where Good Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation" Where Good Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation. I was immediately struck by the difference in approach towards (and definition of) Innovation between Johnson's book and this one. I think that Eric Brechner would do well to read Johnson's book, to see the difference in approach to "Innovation" at Microsoft (at least what he describes), and that of Johnson's approach. Rather than elucidate this in more detail, I leave it to the reader (and Mr. Brechner) to do the necessary reading. Johnson's book gives a far more convincing argument for innovation at Google and Apple than does Mr. Brechner at Microsoft.
Eric Bechner's I. M Wright's "Hard Code:" A Decade of Hard Learned Lessons from Microsft is one of the three books that I read over my vacation. In the interest of full discloser this review is written for O'Reilly's Blogger Review program and this is a only a striaght review of the text; I will be looking at some of the ideas in the book in greater detail in later posts.Overall the book is great and is applicable to pretty much any software developer of any level and I especially feel that the book should be read by students who are interested in working in a large software development firm or the IT department of a large corporation.However, readers of the text should approach it with the understanding that they are not reading this text to learn how to develop software, but rather to learn how to navigate in the software development industry; i.e. you will not read anything about the intricasies of .NET, C#, or C++ in this book, but you will learn how to effectively interface with managers and co-workers.There are parts of the book of course that are very particular to Microsoft, but these sections are few and far between and still provide an interesting read and many of the lessons from the Redmond specific chapters can be applied to many other large organizations. This is a must read for anyone interested in advancing their software development career in a corporate environment or if you are just interested in seeing how software development works in large companies.
