The book, "Git Cute: A Software Engineer's Guide to Seniority" is an e-book that presents a broad overview of the journey to becoming a senior software engineer. Unfortunately, the chapters are shallow and lack depth, failing to delve into the crucial relationships and skills necessary for success. Additionally, the book is marred by editing issues, with unrelated topics appearing randomly and some chapters even duplicating content.
While the book offers some insights into the author's personal experience, it serves mostly as a checklist of requirements for senior software engineers, but it falls short in fully capturing the complexities of this role. Some of the side hustles suggested are not a universal necessity for all senior software engineers.
Despite its shortcomings, there may be some valuable takes and approaches in the book worth a quick skim. However, readers seeking a comprehensive guide to senior software engineering may need to look elsewhere.

This book was such an easy read. Not that there wasn't great content, but that the author wrote it in such a conversational manner, it was like talking to a friend and getting her thoughts.
As a software engineer looking at changing roles after 10 years at the same company, Jocelyn's advice was useful and welcomed. I will definitely be in line to read whatever she writes next, and will have to start listening to her podcast.

about once a year i feel like reading a career book. but it turns out buying one on a whim just because it's pink doesn't work very well.
tech is part of pop culture, and just like pop culture, there's so much content created around tech that has little to no substance and so much advice given that applies to no one other than the author themself. sharing personal experiences can be valuable, but always feeling the need to mentor other people is a sickness
