Advice for Technology Professionals from an Old Fart: No-nonsense straight-talking practical advice for life

Overview

Let's get one thing straight: This isn't just another self-help book. It's not going to tell you how to be a rock star coder, how to climb the corporate ladder in three easy steps, or how to become a ""10x engineer"" (whatever that even means). There are enough people out there trying to sell you that dream. Instead, this book is about the realities of life in the engineering world-the good, the bad, and the ugly. Over the years, I've seen brilliant engineers burn out, promising careers fizzle, and great ideas die on the vine because people didn't have the tools they needed to navigate the challenges that come with this line of work. I've also seen engineers rise from the ashes, overcome incredible obstacles, and achieve things they never thought possible. The difference? It wasn't just technical skill or intelligence. It was about how they approached their work, their lives, and the inevitable curveballs that came their way. What You'll Learn Each chapter of this book tackles a different aspect of life as an engineer, from the strategic thinking needed to build a successful career to the importance of prioritizing your well-being. You'll find advice on everything from how to navigate workplace dynamics to how to avoid the dark places that can threaten your mental health. But more than that, this book is about perspective. It's about understanding that your career is a long game, that your well-being is non-negotiable, and that the way you navigate the highs and lows will define not just your success, but your satisfaction with the life you're building. Who Is This For? This book is for anyone who's ever felt overwhelmed by the demands of their job, who's questioned whether they're on the right path, or who's simply looking for a bit of guidance from someone who's been there, done that, and got the battle scars to prove it. Whether you're a fresh graduate just starting out, a mid-career professional looking for your next move, or a seasoned engineer trying to make sense of it all, there's something here for you. And if you're the type who appreciates a little dark humor with your wisdom, then you're definitely in the right place. Life is too short to take everything seriously, and sometimes, a good laugh is exactly what you need to get through the tough times.
