Sonmez is not a typical book for developers.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;But is it?&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Even though this book doesn’t talk about technical aspects like the structure of your code,&lt;br&gt;&#10;programming languages (though .NET is mentioned a few times), or what cloud (or no-cloud) provider you should use – over its 500+ pages, John dives into a wide range of topics you might be surprised to find in a book dedicated to developers.&lt;/p&gt;</description><media:content xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://ancuta.org/posts/book-soft-skills-john-sonmez/featured.jpg"/></item><item><title>Docs Like Code by Anne Gentle</title><link>https://ancuta.org/posts/book-docs-like-code-by-anne-gentle/</link><pubDate>Tue, 01 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://ancuta.org/posts/book-docs-like-code-by-anne-gentle/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Many people do not like to write documentation, or if they do, it&amp;rsquo;s often detached from the source code, leading to it quickly becoming outdated.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;This is a common problem I&amp;rsquo;ve noticed in the majority of closed-source codebases I&amp;rsquo;ve had the chance to work with. I can only hope that I was the unlucky one, and your case is different :)&lt;/p&gt;</description><media:content xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://ancuta.org/posts/book-docs-like-code-by-anne-gentle/featured.jpg"/></item></channel></rss>
