Show HN: High Output Software Engineering (Book)

2•MaxMussio•1h ago
I wrote High Output Software Engineering, a short book about the skills (decision-making and communication) engineers must focus on to create real value for organizations (other than code itself).

The title is a reference to High Output Management, by Andrew Grove, because the skills and mental models laid out in the book should enhance "Output" (value being created) not necessarily "activity" (code being produced).

My goal now is to spread the word about the book and put it in the hands of people or companies that will benefit from it. I've heard it's being specially helpful for startup teams.

Would love feedback from this community both on the book content itself and on the packaging/marketing.

Free copy available using the coupon code HACKERNEWS (valid until the end of the month): https://payhip.com/buy?link=YeABa

Book landing page: https://leomax.fyi/book/

It's also available on Amazon if it's easier for you: https://www.amazon.com/High-Output-Software-Engineering-Comm...

ps. I really wrote the book (I believe writing is the ultimate thinking tool). Used AI for grammar polishing and fact-checking.
