### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Productivity from a seasoned software engineer's perspective
*by J***Z on January 21, 2020*

Right after graduating from university with a CS degree in the summer of 2018, I landed my first programming job at an early-stage, seed startup. It's 2020, and I'm still working there as of this writing, but despite the myriads of projects I've worked on and the many hats I had to wear, only recently have I started to ask myself these questions:- How much have I grown as an engineer?- What kind of impact have I made?- Am I proud of what I've been able to accomplish?- Based on what I'm doing now, what does my career trajectory look like, within the company or elsewhere should I switch jobs?I wasn't quite satisfied with my personal answers, which made me realize that I needed to understand what is the role of an engineer and what differentiates a standout engineer from an average one.That led me to this book. Edmond Lau's varied experience in the tech industry, especially his time at Quora while it was an early-stage venture, deeply resonated with me. I saw that he was in my shoes before and yet was not discouraged by the circumstances of having to build a system from the ground-up. Instead, he took on the challenge with enthusiasm, made an indelible impact, and provided tremendous value from both an engineering and business perspective. Understanding how he was able to do that as well as the why is the purpose of this remarkable book, and as a result, I developed a framework that I look forward to applying consistently to help my company succeed.Highly recommended to any engineer who desires to make a real impact at his or her workplace!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fantastic read for anyone looking to jump-start their own investigations ...
*by P***T on May 11, 2015*

A fantastic read for anyone looking to jump-start their own investigations in to best practice. It's definitely an engineer's book from an engineer's perspective which makes it all the more satisfying to read -- very thoughtfully designed with excellent word economy. In saying that, the concepts are high-level enough that analogies can easily be drawn to make them accessible from outside the pure software engineering world. As a technical director in film visual effects, not a lesson was wasted. Highly recommended!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing and Actionable Ideas
*by P***S on November 28, 2018*

This is by far one of the best books I've read on being effective. I've talked so much about it to others that they want to buy a copy. A manager at my work was completely impressed when I was describing how I was implementing it at work. He even said that we need more people like me. My niece who is a high school student told me that she wants to read it. One of my wife's friends who is also an engineer was in awe when I described the contents of the book.
