前言:

這是 2023 年第十本讀完的書。最近被牛牛推坑這本書,覺得相當的有趣。 也覺得裡面有相當有趣的內容,近期應該會整理一下讀書心得。

內容摘要:

For years, companies have rewarded their most effective engineers with management positions. But treating management as the default path for an engineer with leadership ability doesn't serve the industry well--or the engineer. The staff engineer's path allows engineers to contribute at a high level as role models, driving big projects, determining technical strategy, and raising everyone's skills.

This in-depth book shows you how to understand your role, manage your time, master strategic thinking, and set the standard for technical work. You'll read about how to be a leader without direct authority, how to plan ahead to make the right technical decisions, and how to make everyone around you better, while still growing as an expert in your domain.

By exploring the three pillars of a staff engineer's job, Tanya Reilly, a veteran of the staff engineer track, shows you how to:

- Take a broad, strategic view when thinking about your work
- Dive into practical tactics for making projects succeed
- Determine what "good engineering" means in your organization

我喜歡要求“ELI5”,這個術語來自 Reddit,意思是“像我五歲一樣解釋它”。這是一個有用的捷徑,意思是“看,不要猜測我的理解程度,只需為我拼出它即可。如果你告訴我我已經知道的事情,我保證不會生氣。” (這裡的社會契約是,如果他們從主題的基礎知識開始,你就不會被冒犯。)
