Spanning technology, project management, people, workplaces, and yes even physical conditioning - my goal is to distill off the top of my experiences and boil down as simply and concisely as I can - those aspects of software development that are critical for a career in the field which are often overlooked in other books. Hopefully some of what is in this book might help you think out your own philosophies, think over your environment, get through your working years - and emerge a sane if not wiser person on the other end.
