Purchase options and add-ons

In the course of their 20+-year engineering careers, authors Brian Fitzpatrick and Ben Collins-Sussman have picked up a treasure trove of wisdom and anecdotes about how successful teams work together. Their conclusion? Even among people who have spent decades learning the technical side of their jobs, most haven’t really focused on the human component. Learning to collaborate is just as important to success. If you invest in the "soft skills" of your job, you can have a much greater impact for the same amount of effort.

The authors share their insights on how to lead a team effectively, navigate an organization, and build a healthy relationship with the users of your software. This is valuable information from two respected software engineers whose popular series of talks―including "Working with Poisonous People"―has attracted hundreds of thousands of followers.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Solid well packaged advice throughout
    Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    Loved the format and easy going writing. Underneath that glossy surface is a book packed with solid advice for any person leading one or more software team.

    If I should list anything negative it could be that the open-source example situations might be a little bit hard to translate into context for the enterprise developer. That's compensated with a fair share of enterprise stories too so there's no big problem.

    Thank you for a great book

    I enjoyed this book so much that I made a somewhat impulsive decision to make it required reading in my software architecture class. Each semester a percentage of my students consistently struggle to work successfully in ad-hoc teams. This book is the antidote. It empowers them with specific approaches to dealing with nearly every common teamwork malady. Great work by both authors!

    Amazon Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
    The book came into my life at a good time. A company I've invested in has had difficulty scaling its business. Over the past three years, we've had three sales managers and flat sales. So, the book's message--the three elements of team building are Humility, Respect and Trust--was right down my ally. The writing is easy and breezy. There are good examples. I particularly like the parts about manager acting as a servant to employees and the one about dealing with poisonous people. Like a lot of these how-to books, there's no magic bullet but it's worthwhile getting yourself thinking specifically to focus on an issue: Without a solid team, you can't scale.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Version 2 of Team Geek, rename
    Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2015
    Amazon Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
    People are messy, unpredictable, and often annoying to interface with, say the authors. This book will help you improve collaboration.

    Warning: Version 1 of this book is called, “Team Geek”. I ordered this book because I raved about Team Geek and had bought copies for others. I wanted to see what new things the authors had to say. It wasn’t until I had the book in hand and read the forward that I learned this is the second edition to Team Geek. This information should be in the basic description. The same six chapter titles exist in both books:

    • The Myth of the Genius Programmer
    • Building an Awesome Team Culture
    • Every Boat Needs a Captain
    • Dealing with Poisonous People
    • The Art of Organizational Manipulation
    • Users are People Too

    The mission changes slightly from; to help programmers… to help people spend less time fighting and more time creating. In my estimation, about 80% of the material is the same; in some cases it’s been reframed. There are new stories and cute cartoon like pictures.

    The underlying premise of both books is that humility, trust, and respect is what builds effective and collaborative teams. Version 2.0 attempts to make it more generic and for software engineers. In that, it doesn’t do so well. It is an excellent book for folks who are familiar with terms like: CVS (not the drugstore), port (not the drink), proxy (not the stock voting kind), and Apache (not the helicopter) and who haven’t already read Team Geek. It’s clever, convincing, and easy and fun to read for the right audience.

    Molte conferme, qualche esame di coscienza. Un libretto da leggere assolutamente, e rileggere, perché chi si sente un "tecnico" può spesso finire col lasciare in secondo piano cose molto importanti per la serena convivenza nel team e anche per la propria carriera.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 24, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    I have been a software developer for 16 years on many projects. Like many other developers I love the technology but often struggle with people. Developers often complain about language features and software design and other technological gripes but in my experience it is people and politics that cause the vast majority of the stress and confusion in the workplace. In this way software development is much like any other profession.

    This book does not have all the answers but it is a wonderful start. There is a great deal of wisdom and a great many life lessons contained inside. I am still learning to apply these lessons to my working life but can already see the benefits.

    In addition the book is succinct. It is a definite problem with most non-technical computing books that they are bloated beyond reason ("The Art of Agile Development " is one such book where the message is all but lost in a confusion of poorly edited rambling).

    Debugging Teams is a book I love and wish had been available when I started my career!

    This book shows readers how to be good employees. The anecdotal evidence in it is mostly Google-specific. As Google is a rather unusual company, some of the advice given in the book may not be applicable to normal companies where money is tight and people fight to keep their jobs.
