Book Reviews "Bridging theory with practice, this book presents a clear roadmap for anyone navigating the tech landscape. A must-read for engineers at any career stage." Alex Xu, software engineer and author of the System Design Interview Book Series "Spanning a huge range of topics from technical to social in a concise manner, this belongs on the desk of any software engineer looking to grow their impact and their career. You'll reach for it again and again for sage advice in any situation." James Stanier, Director of Engineering at Shopify, author of The Engineering Manager "You need to understand ‘the lay of the land’ and know how to thrive in different environments in order to progress as a software engineer. The Software Engineer’s Guidebook goes beyond helping just with this: it does a comprehensive job covering areas that engineers need to know of in order to keep progressing at each engineering level in the tech industry.” Nielet D’mello, Software Security Engineer at Datadog "The book equips you with how to grow beyond the mid-career developer levels, and understand what is expected out of roles and situations you could be in. Reading this book made me lament one thing: how it was not available earlier in my career! It is absolutely essential for all software engineers." Arnav Gupta, Director of Engineering at JioCinema “The beauty of this book is that it covers multiple rungs of the career ladder, with enough concepts to give even the most experienced developers something new to consider. Even with 17 years in the industry, I still found new ideas to use. It's a real treasure trove of actionable information.” Chris Seaton, Tech Lead at Skiddle “A treasure trove of perspectives, suggestions and ideas. These will help you move to the next level no matter where you are in your career.” Roberto Vitillo, Principal Engineer at Amazon, author of Understanding Distributed Systems Read more reviews: "I’m almost 100% sure that you’ll also read about ideas that are completely new to you. A recommended read."- review by Sandor Dargo, Senior Software Engineer at Spotify "Even five years into my career, there are topics in this book that I simply didn’t understand, particularly where you only really get visibility as a manager." - review by Will Larson, engineering leader, author of The Enineering Executives Primer and other books "This book effectively combines technical expertise with an intriguing narrative." - review by Mahendra Rao B, technical architect More reviews on on Goodreads and on Amazon How to Read the Book The book is separated into six standalone parts, each part covering several chapters: Part 1: Developer career fundamentals Part 2: The competent software developer Part 3: The well-rounded senior engineer Part 4: The pragmatic tech lead Part 5: Role-model staff and principal engineers Part 6: Conclusion Parts 1 and 6 apply to all engineering levels: from entry-level software developers to principal or above engineers. Parts 2, 3, 4 and 5 cover increasingly senior engineering levels. These four parts group topics in chapters – such as ones on software engineering, collaboration, getting things done, and so on. This book is more of a reference book that you can refer back to, as you grow in your career. I suggest skimming over the career levels and chapters that you are familiar with, and focus reading on topics you struggle with, or career levels where you are aiming to get to. Keep in mind that expectations can vary greatly between companies. In this book, I’ve aimed to align the topics and leveling definitions closer to what is typical at Big Tech and scaleups: but you might find some of the topics relevant for lower career levels in later chapters. For example, we cover logging, montiroing and oncall in Part 5: “Reliable software systems” in-depth: but it’s useful – and oftentimes necessary! – to know about these practices below the staff engineer levels.

The book can help you get ideas on how to help software engineers on your team grow. And if you are a hands-on engineering manager (which I hope you might be!) then you can apply the topics yourself! I wrote more about staying hands-on as an engineering manager or lead in The Pragmatic Engineer Newsletter. I'm not a software engineer. Is the book useful to me? I've gotten this variation of a question from Data Engineers, ML Engineers, designers and SREs. See the more detailed table of contents and the "Look inside" sample to get a better idea of the contents of the book. I have written this book with software engineers as the target group, and the bulk of the book applies for them. Part 1 is more generally applicable career advice: but that's still smaller subset of the book. About the Author I've been a software engineer for a decade — working at JP Morgan, Skype/Microsoft, Skyscanner and Uber — and then an engineering manager for another several years. As an engineering manager, I did my best to support people on my team to improve professionally, get the promotions they deserved, and give clear, actionable feedback when I thought colleagues weren’t ready for the next level, just yet. As my team grew and I took on skip-level reports, I had less and less time to mentor teammates in-depth. I also started to see patterns in the feedback I gave, so began to publish blog posts of the advice I found myself giving repeatedly; about writing well, and doing good code reviews. These posts were warmly received, and a lot more people than I expected read and shared them with colleagues. This is when I began writing this book. The book took four years to write. By year two of the writing process, I had a draft that could be ready to publish. However, at that time I launched The Pragmatic Engineer Newsletter. The focus of this newsletter is keeping the pulse of today’s tech market, plus regular deepdives into how well-known, international companies operate, software engineering trends, and occasional interviews with interesting tech people. Writing the newsletter made me realize just how many “gaps” were in the book draft. The past two years have been spent rewriting and honing its contents, one chapter at a time. Today, The Pragmatic Newsletter is the #1 technology newsletter on Substack — with more than 500,000 readers. The newsletter has helped me improve the book; I’ve learned lots about interesting trends and new tools that feel like they are here to stay for a decade or longer, such as AI coding tools, cloud development environments, and developer portals. These technologies are referenced in this book in much less detail than you will find in the newsletter. I hope you discover useful ideas in this book, which serve you well for years to come.
