Managing Humans: Biting and Humorous Tales of a Software Engineering Manager, Second Edition

Acknowledgments

I’d like to acknowledge and thank:

• The readers of Rands in Repose who not only unwittingly guided the initial creation of this work by reading, commenting, and mailing, but whose continued interest allowed me to develop a far superior second edition.

• Tom Paquin, who years ago took the time to guide me and shape my thinking regarding how to be a good manager.
• John Gruber, my dear friend, who inspires me with his writing and who I don’t see enough.
• 42. You are the answer and I don’t really care what the question is.

I would also like to thank Steve Jobs for ...
