Book Reviews of Microserfs
Book Review: Strickingly accurate, entertaining, and funny
Summary: 5 Stars
In Microserfs, Douglas Coupland presents an eerily accurate snapshot of modern software development culture. A culture where quirkiness, nerf gun attacks, release parties, access to unlimited amounts of sugar laden beverages, all nighters, hard work, and spontaneous fun are all the norm.
This is a great book for those seeking an entertaining read, or those who are interested in what the life of a developer entails. As a software developer myself, this book is a great reminder that developing software is really about the people, team work, fun, and not usually the technology.
