This book confirmed a few suspicions of mine when it comes to multitasking and the importance of reading code well. There were some useful stats on the productivity cost of getting interrupted whilst programming which I highlighted. I enjoyed the final chapter on onboarding new developers, as I have never seen this topic addressed before, and the author's recommendations seemed sensible. Overall this was an enjoyable read that served more to confirm some of my thoughts than introduce new ideas.
