Developer Experience Unleashed

The Art of Creating Efficient Developer Environments

&lt;p&gt;Chapter 1: Introduction to Developer Experience.- Chapter 2: The Essence of Developer Experience.- Chapter 3: Developer Experience as a Competitive Advantage.- Chapter 4: Crafting Exceptional Documentation.- Chapter 5: Streamlining Developer Tooling.- Chapter 6: Designing Developer-Centric APIs.- Chapter 7: Providing Stellar Developer Support.- Chapter 8: Ensuring Performance and Reliability.- Chapter 9: Measuring Developer Experience.- Chapter 10: Real-world DX Improvement Strategies.- Chapter 11: Developer Experience Case Studies.- Chapter 12: The Future of Developer Experience.- Chapter 13: Interviews and Expert Insights.- Chapter 14: Conclusion.- Appendix A: Resources and Further Reading.- Appendix B: Tools and Technologies Recommendations.- Appendix C: Templates and Checklists.- Appendix D: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

Too young to retire, too vital to stand still, too experienced to start from scratch? Welcome to your Bonus Years. Increased longevity has gifted us fifteen-to-twenty extra active, healthy working years, shattering the traditional linear career script of learning, working, and retiring. In The Bonus Years, the world's leading expert on career transition, and London Business School Professor Herminia Ibarra, delivers the definitive, social-science-backed resource for navigating later-career transformation. Ibarra reveals that thriving in an extended work life requires abandoning the old linear, plan-and-implement strategies. Instead, successful reinvention comes through 'resourceful discovery' - a disciplined process of active experimentation, trying on new futures, and knowing when to adjust your course. Whether change has arrived uninvited through an industry shock, or a quiet internal restlessness is telling you it's time to let go, this book provides the actionable tools to build transition mastery and successfully map your path forward. Filled with rich and varied case studies of professionals who reinvented themselves across the globe, The Bonus Years is an empowering manifesto for anyone who refuses to stand still. It is proof that to bloom late is not to bloom less - it is to bloom with deeper roots, on your own terms.

**This edition will be released in March 2027. If you want to get a copy ahead of then, have a look at our hardback edition, released in May 2026.** 'If you're worried about wasting your life, read this book.' Rutger Bregman, author of Humankind A ridiculously in-depth guide to finding a fulfilling and impactful career in an age of AI. You have about 80,000 hours in your career: 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, for 40 years. This means your choice of career is the most important decision you'll ever make. Choose well, and you can have a more rewarding, interesting life, and also help solve some of the world's most pressing problems. Choose poorly, and you could waste decades. So what should you do? Most advice is based on no research, instead offering (misleading) platitudes like 'follow your passion'. It's surprisingly out of date, focusing on traditional paths rather than those most likely to thrive in an age of AI. And if you want to help others, the advice is even more simplistic: telling you to choose careers like nurse or doctor, when there are paths in which almost anyone can save more lives. In fact, some careers have hundreds of times more impact than others, but most of us have no idea which ones. Benjamin Todd is the founder of 80,000 Hours, a non-profit that's spent over ten years researching how to have a meaningful and impactful career. Here he introduces a tried-and-tested toolkit framework that has already led thousands of people to change their path. It covers:<ul><li>What really makes for a dream job, and why finding it probably doesn't involve 'following your passion'.</li><li>How to identify which global problems are most pressing, and why they might involve AI as much as climate change.</li><li>Which roles are likely to be automated, and how to ensure yours isn't among them.</li></ul> It's also full of practical tips and tools. You'll come away with a plan to use your 80,000 hours in a way that's rewarding and fulfils your potential to make a difference. 'This career guide is among the most thoughtful and grounded I've seen.' Cal Newport, author of Deep Work 'A remarkably rigorous guide about how to find that perfect career for you.' Ali Abdaal, author of Feel-Good Productivity 'Based on evidence and good sense, not platitudes.' Steven Pinker, author of The Better Angels of our Nature 'The most informative book you can read if you're stuck trying to make one of life's most important decisions.' Hannah Ritchie, author of Not the End of the World

Warum reale Projekte uns mehr lehren als jedes Framework

Agile Softwareentwicklung ohne Illusionen

What if the biggest obstacle to solving our problems is nothing more than a failure to believe that we can?Rick Caruso has spent his life stepping optimistically into places where other people see no way forward by asking a deceptively simple question: What can we do to make this better? From his appointment as Commissioner to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and later the City's troubled Police Department, to the creation of his bold and innovative real estate ventures including L.A.'s world-renowned retail center The Grove, Caruso built a reputation for finding steadfast solutions even in the face of staunch adversity. By employing the great teachers of experience and curiosity, he continues to do what he can to improve Los Angeles, the city he loves, and in Breaking New Ground, he shares lessons learned along the way--while offering us all a path forward to a better future.Again and again, Caruso discovered that breakthroughs rarely come from knowing everything at the outset. They come from asking better questions, bringing the right people into the room, listening without ego, separating ideology from reality, and refusing to give up until workable solutions emerge. Ultimately, they require a steadfast dedication to the belief that there is always a solution and that defeat is not an option.Breaking New Ground is the story of how his philosophy was forged--from the examples of immigrant grandparents and a father who lost one fortune and built another, to Caruso's own successes, failures, public battles, family life, faith, and unexpected turns through business and government.Caruso is less interested in prescribing a formula for becoming successful than in exploring how successful problem-solvers think: how they distinguish what matters from what merely makes noise; how they balance conviction with compromise; how they recognize when conventional wisdom has stopped working; and how they remain fearless enough to see difficult decisions through.Part memoir, part argument, and part blueprint for action, Breaking New Ground offers a timely proposition for anyone confronting a problem that feels too complicated, entrenched, or divisive to solve.There is always another way forward. Sometimes you simply have to be willing to build it.

The Instant New York Times bestseller 'Masterful' - Adam Grant, bestselling author of Think Again 'So interesting' - Pandora Sykes 'Wonderful' - Angela Duckworth, bestselling author of Grit An essential read to become the most creative, productive, and satisfied version of yourself, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Range. We are constantly told to 'keep our options open' and 'think outside the box' - but what if endless freedom is exactly the problem? Drowning in a dizzying excess of choice often leads to dread, anxiety, and burnout. In Inside the Box, award-winning author David Epstein reveals a powerful truth: to thrive, you don't need more freedom. You need to build your own box. From navigating an uncertain future to building a life, intentional boundaries breed brilliance: <ul><li>Relationships: Couples who consciously commit are more satisfied than those who simply 'keep their options open'.</li><li>Artificial Intelligence: A lack of advanced microchips forced engineers at DeepSeek into brilliant workarounds, producing a model to rival ChatGPT.</li><li>Business: General Magic - a tech startup with limitless funding - failed spectacularly because they refused to set internal limits.</li><li>Science: The periodic table wasn't born from boundless genius, but the strict demands of a textbook deadline.</li><li>Music: Jazz pianist Keith Jarrett produced the bestselling solo piano album of all time by adapting to a broken piano.</li></ul> Constraints are not obstacles - they are powerful tools we can wield. Weaving gripping storytelling with cognitive science, Inside the Box proves the secret to expanding your potential isn't chasing endless options. It's taking back control and choosing the right limits. 'David Epstein's first two books - The Sports Gene and Range - were brilliant, but Inside the Box is his best . . . I won't think about my own work the same way ever again' - Malcolm Gladwell, bestselling author of The Tipping Point

From Ann Handley, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Everybody Writes, comes a smart, timely, clear-eyed guide to knowing when to speed up, when to slow down, and when the shortcut costs more than it saves. You already know how to go fast. What nobody taught you is when not to. In ASAP: As SLOW As Possible, Ann Handley rebels against the false urgency baked into modern work and life—and shows you how to recognize Slowments: the moments when slowing down is not weakness, hesitation, or delay. It's the smarter move. Because when everyone has access to the same shortcuts, the real edge is knowing when not to take them. With research, brain science, vivid storytelling, and Handley’s signature wit, ASAP: As SLOW As Possible reveals the hidden speed traps that weaken our judgment, creativity, and original thinking—especially in an age when AI makes the fastest path feel like the smartest one—and gives you a practical way to know when speed is serving you and when it’s taking you farther from what matters. You'll discover: <ul><li>The Hasty Progress Illusion—why motion can feel like mastery, even when nothing lasting is taking hold</li><li>The ASAP Matrix—how to know exactly when to autopilot, when to pause, and when a moment deserves more of you</li><li>The six Slowments in life and in work—the pivotal moments when slowing down changes what happens next</li><li>How to protect your judgment in a world eager to outsource it</li><li>When choosing analog leads to sharper ideas, wiser decisions, more creative approaches, stronger relationships, and meaningful work</li><li>How to stop confusing speed with progress—and start choosing the pace the moment actually requires</li></ul> ASAP: As SLOW As Possible reveals slowness as a generative force and for the first time gives you a way to harness life’s most important slow moments. Not by doing less, opting out, or becoming the kind of person who ferments things in a shed. But by knowing when speed helps—and when it hollows out the very thing you hoped it would serve. It’s time to choose the long road when the shortcut costs too much.

When to Take the Long Road in a Shortcut World

ASAP: As Slow as Possible

When the plan can’t keep up with changing conditions, strategic judgment must. Strategic leaders increasingly make consequential decisions in the gap between strategic intent and the plan of action. They need to stay oriented toward what they are trying to create while continually deciding what to hold, what to adapt, and what to let go of to meet rapidly changing conditions. The challenge is that pressure can begin shaping those decisions before you realize it. Over time, hundreds of reasonable choices can add up to something no one intended. In this book, strategist and executive coach Karin Blair reveals a hidden lever behind strategic judgment: the inner capacity of the leader making those calls. Through a framework of interconnected agilities, you’ll learn to <ul><li>build emotional agility to recognize when self-protection and reactivity are shaping your judgment,</li><li>develop cognitive agility to widen the perspectives and possibilities you can consider before deciding, and</li><li>strengthen navigational agility to stay oriented and committed as conditions change and results remain uncertain.</li></ul> With practical insights and real-world examples, Blair helps you recognize when pressure is narrowing your judgment and build the agilities that strengthen your capacity over time, so you can draw on it when the stakes are high. You can’t change the terrain. But you can expand your inner capacity to navigate it.

Make better high-stakes decisions in uncertainty by developing the 3 agilities (emotional, cognitive, and navigational) needed to lead when no clear answers exist. Today's leaders face a difficult challenge: They must make high-stakes decisions before they have enough information to know whether those choices will succeed. Organizations operate in a BANI world, one that is brittle, anxious, nonlinear, and increasingly difficult to predict. Yet many leaders continue to make strategic decisions using mental models built for a more stable era. This book reveals why leaders often narrow their options under pressure, mistake activity for impact, and seek certainty when ambiguity demands something different. Executive coach Karin Blair shows that the quality of strategic decisions depends less on what leaders know and more on what they can hold without reacting, oversimplifying, or forcing premature resolution. Through a powerful framework built around 3 interconnected agilities, readers learn how to <ul><li>build emotional agility to stay grounded under pressure,</li><li>develop cognitive agility to hold competing perspectives and challenge assumptions, and</li><li>strengthen navigational agility to sustain commitment when results remain uncertain.</li></ul> Filled with practical leadership insights and real-world examples, this book helps leaders expand their decision field, choose coherence over relief, and create strategies that compound into meaningful long-term impact.
