Kill It with Fire

This is a fascinating read for anyone in the software development space. The lessons and take-aways I have from this book will stay with me throughout my career. If you are serious about software development and do not have the luxury of staying in greedfield projects your entire career, you need to pick up this book.

The entertaining structure of the book briefs you on any topic starting from tech history - how the ancient hardware still affects/shapes modern solutions, to psychology and biases - mere exposure effect, confirmation bias, and my favorite: humans as pattern-matching machines.
The book will be interesting to everyone involved in the development cycle with more focus on management philosophy.
The key takeaway is not to fear turning off the component in question and observing the meltdown. But in all seriousness, it has a lot to offer and substance to think through.

Who is this book for? It assumes a deep technical understanding and explains really basic things at random times. Like we've already talked about monoliths why is there a several page description of what they are six chapters in.
