I started writing a book in June “the Laws of Software Engineering”.

As of yesterday, I have my >10k words done and an outline with >50 laws that I’m boiling down to 12.

I have an ask. Sign up for my blog: https://blog.robertroskam.com/subscribe

I started writing this for you—not you specifically, but you generally. The people who read and enjoy my writing.

I'll start dripping out over there some parts of the longer work that I feel stands alone well.

Thanks! 🙏
