Learn what you need to succeed as a developer beyond the code. While every software development career is different, there are many common building blocks for success. The lessons in this book will supercharge your career by illuminating mistakes and assumptions that real developers have made, and help you avoid them.

Wouldn't it be nice to learn from others' career mistakes? Soft skills are crucial to success, but are haphazardly picked up on the job or, worse, never learned. Understanding these skills and how to improve them will make you a more effective team member and a more attractive hire.

By the end of this book, you'll have learned key skills to help you level up as a developer. These skills include how to ask questions, how to evaluate tools, and how to interact with other team members. Each will be presented in context and from multiple perspectives so you'll be able to integrate them and apply them to your own career quickly.

What You'll Learn

Know when the best code is no code
Understand the surprising number of programmers who can't program
Avoid the pitfalls of working alone
Review the costs and benefits of remote work
