Show HN: I wrote a book for software engineers, based on 11 years at Uber

https://rfonti.gumroad.com/l/playbook
3•ten-fold•30m ago
Hi HN, I recently left Uber after an intense decade as Senior and then Staff Engineer.

Coming from a small startup, it took me years to learn how to be successful in tech. When I left, I decided to write down the raw, unfiltered advice that you rarely hear from managers.

It’s a fun, quick read through 7 playbooks.

Enjoy the free PDF for the next 48 hours.

Ask me anything! :)

Thanks for doing this. I am well retired now (from Apple) - so too late for me, but after sampling a few chapters I think every fresh software engineer should read your book!
