"Soft Skills" Impressions
I read it because it was a hot topic.
Overall evaluation: +1 (Highly recommended)
A book to think about your career path
Although it's categorized as a technical book for programmers, it's not a typical technical book, but rather a book about career development and life.
It covers various aspects of life, from daily work to asset formation, especially after becoming a member of society.
While it may not be possible to practice everything written in this book, it can give you direction when you're lost or struggling.
Detailed Impressions
Learning and Selling
It explains each step of the spiral of learning and selling in detail.
I sometimes wonder if writing a blog is meaningful, but it's true that output helps to organize and absorb knowledge.
It encourages you to actively output!
It also explains the importance of habituation and the need to write regularly.
Asset Formation
I've been interested in investment and have tried various things, but I've never thought about how much I need to save if I want to retire at 50.
Thinking from the goal of retirement makes me realize what I should do now.
If you're thinking of retiring early, please give it a try.
KanbanFlow
I used to try the Pomodoro Technique, but I didn't understand its effects and soon gave up.
This book explains it as a method for measurement and estimation, which changes my perspective.
I've been using it at work recently, and it's been quite effective.
Conclusion
This book explains techniques for programmers to advance their careers.
Whether or not you can practice what's written in this book depends on yourself, and some people may not find it useful.
However, I think it's worth reading, even if it's just to think about your goals.
Habituation is difficult, but being aware of it can make a difference.
I want to make good choices and take good things from this book.
It's rare for students or those who are not yet working to think about their future lives, but reading this book may change your life significantly.
