E-Books →The Staff Engineer's Path (Second Early Release)

With this in-depth book, author Tanya Reilly shows you ways to master strategic thinking, manage difficult projects, and set the standard for technical work. You'll learn how to be a leader without direct authority, how to plan ahead so that you're making the right technical decisions, and how to make everyone around you better, all while still leaving you time to grow as an expert in your domain.
In three parts, you'll explore the three pillars of an engineer's job
Big picture thinking: learn how to take a broad, strategic view when thinking about your work
Project execution: dive into tactics and explore the practicalities of making projects succeed
Being a positive influence: determine the standards for what "good engineering" means in your organization
