![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I Love Rands so much and this book felt like setting with this geek you adore, just listening to them talking hours and hours without feeling bored, non a second and I wished he kept talking forever. What astonished me the most with Michael Lopp is that he speaks the same language as I do, use the same acronyms, uses everyday language and able to make me laugh in a matter of seconds. Once I saw these magic words in the title, the book was already ordered. ![]() My first reaction to this panic rush is search for managerial books, more precisely how to deal with the other creatures out there and it would means a lot to me if it is something related to software engineering. I'm starting a managerial position and this scares the hell out of me since I'm no longer able to hide in my cave, put the headset and ignore that everything around me ever existed. Trust me this is scarier than watching a paranormal movie when you are alone in the middle of the night! If you wish to scare the hell out of a software engineer, an obsessed introvert geek, give him a managerial position!! Management means dealing with people, become socially engaged and start relating to others in a non-technical manner. ![]()

She is also Morrow’s prime suspect in an investigation that resembles a soap opera, filled with glamorous jetsetters and enough money to interest the highest levels of law enforcement. For reasons she can’t quite explain, Alex Morrow is addicted to watching surveillance footage of Roxanna Fuentecilla-a gorgeous Spanish mother of two, in a tempestuous relationship with her boyfriend, who recently relocated to Glasgow under mysterious circumstances. ![]() ![]() You write fiction as both Seanan McGuire and as Mira Grant.
