Good must read for all programmers - beginners or experts - and their managers.
Personally, I found the following paragraphs interesting:
Why Estimation is Important (I promise that I will never ever forget this. Until next time)
How to Document Wisely (very agile, just enough)
How to Stay Motivated (totally agree. I have done this constantly ever since my first job at Vigilante)
How to Balance Brevity and Abstraction (I did abstract too much when building my.ITU)
How to Decide if Software is Too Immature (good check list)
How to Make a Buy vs. Build Decision (just YES)
How to Handle Boring Tasks (I like the idea that one should not do boring stuff alone)
How to Deal with Organizational Chaos (Yes, but this can be difficult if chaos is too close, Eg. if your manager creates it.)
