Book Review
I read this book after I got a job offer, but I have been following John’s youtube channel since I started learning code. John is not a typical developer. He’s buff and besides his prolific coding skiills, he is also good at investing, fitness, and business. He’s main focus is in self development now. I been getting a lot of his advice from his channel then I decided to buy this book and give it a read.
Once I went through the table of contents, I was like WTF? He literally covers everything, and I mean EVERYTHING you need to know for developer. The book mainly focus on the soft skills to become successful in developer career. The book cover huge range of topics ranging from relationship, stocks, fitness, real estate. Through out the books he was able to back up his views with his personal stories.
After reading the book, I don’t agree on some of the things John suggest but it’s cool. The biggest thing I learn from this book is marketing is very important for developers and we must be able to learn things quicky. The key is breaking big things into many small parts and keep practicing. This applies to learning or building a business.
