Acknowledgments
I am deeply grateful to everyone who contributed time, energy, knowledge, and ideas to this book, especially John Allspaw, Brian Anderson, Kevin Behr, Benjamin Chait, Michael Chender, Brad Cottel, Jennelle Crothers, Patrick Debois, Sidney Dekker, Jessica DeVita, Oren Ellenbogen, Rolan Gregg, JD Harrington, Anja Hartmann, Jon Jensen, Robb Kidd, Gene Kim, Kristian Kristensen, Tom Limoncelli, Dave Mangot, Mathias Meyer, Zoran Perkov, Phil Sarin, Baron Schwartz, David Snowden, Jeff Sussna, James Turnbull, and David Woods. That the book is even readable is due to the extensive surgery it received from Trish Deitch.
I wrote in short bursts from the fall of 2014 to the fall of 2015 in between long periods of laziness and panic. A big part was written during a March 2015 “hack week” at Next Big Sound, whose cofounders (Alex White, David Hoffman, and Samir Rayani) created the best place I’ve ever worked.
This book could not exist without Yulia’s constant encouragement and love. May the following pages make the world a little better for Zack and Ati, and help their generation go fearlessly beyond blame.
