The Missing README is a real-world, workplace success guide for new software engineers: best practices, technical skills, and processes that are key to success for any engineer, but aren't taught in school.
For example, you'll learn how to work with existing codebases and how to write production-grade code; how to manage software dependencies; and processes used to test, review, build, deploy, and operate software. You'll also learn design processes and how to partner with an engineering manager to get things done. Do's and Don'ts deliver information in a nutshell, and "Level Up" sections point to further reading. Real-world stories are woven in throughout to reinforce key points.
This book is for you if you can answer "yes" to any one of these questions:
- Do you feel like the newbie on your engineering team?
- Are you wondering how to review code or write a design document?
- Are you worried about breaking existing code?
- Are you overwhelmed by the thought of being "on-call"?
- Are you surrounded by unfamiliar acronyms like SLA, SLO, PPP, 1:1, OKR?
- Are you questioning the point of sprint planning meetings, story points, and stand-ups?”
