review 1: A great book discussing some of the often overlooked aspects of software engineering. It was recommended to me by Fritz himself after I tweeted to him about his Myth of the Genius Programmer talk with Ben at Google IO in 2009.I enjoyed it so much that I think I might show it to my current manager. Overall, I totally recommend it as it is informative and a very light and interesting read.Nice job, Ben and Fritz!
review 2: Basically a collection of "best practices" to work together as a team when in the software development industry. Acutally most of the practices can be generalised to anything work-related human-to-human, not even only in teams. I really liked some analogies (the sourdough one especially, which states that a good team starts with a good culture ... more- the original members - and inoculate your dough - the newcomers - which grow and produce a great piece of loaf - your team). Some sections were very sparse and didn't make a lot of sense.If you are interested in how to work together with others and what to do about it (yourself), you're better off reading "Search Inside Yourself", also written by a Google employee. I didn't see anything new in this book, but it was a pleasant (and very quick ) read. less
