I’ve been commissioned to write a big document about what I think it means, and what is necessary, to become a good software engineer! If anyone finds the document interesting please do email me (email on my resume) with any questions or comments, even if you hate it and deeply disagree with me! This is the first release so some sections may be a bit skimpy and I might have some false info in there here and there.

I’m a fairly young engineer so please do take all my opinions with a healthy dose of skepticism. Nonetheless I hope the document is useful for someone! Many of my opinions come from my interpretation of much more experienced engineers I’ve come in direct contact with, and this PDF is sort of a creation of what others taught me.

As time goes on I may make edits or add new chapters, when I do I’ll modify the version number (just above the table of contents). Here is the PDF:
