The Devil in the Stack

Andrew Smith . August 2024 . Beaverton Lib. 005.1 SMI

Andrew Smith 1961

My first glance at this book was off-putting - I somehow got the idea that the author thought perjoratively about programmers and technologists. The book is actually a journalist making a deep and sincere dive into software, the communities of people who create and maintain it, and how they think about it.
