Michael Lopp, also known as Rands from randsinrepose.com, uses sometimes-crude, but strangely elegant, humor to shed light on the way he perceives his work as an engineering manager. Subtitled “Biting and Humorous Tales of a Software Engineering Manager”, this book is a collection of posts from his website, organized in a delightful and easy-to-digest way and offers a good overview of the unique perspectives he has on managing software engineers.
