Show HN: Code of War – Satirical book about moving up the IT corporate ladder

7 pointsby markozivanovicover 2 years ago
Hello dear HN crowd,<p>I love when I stumble upon a developer war story in a random comment here on HN. I love it so much that I also wanted to share some of the stories I&#x27;ve collected over the years working in IT.<p>I came up with the idea to present the stories in a somewhat unusual way, in the style of the malicious self-help book. The book gives you advice on how to succeed in IT, from the interview phase to the management, by acting like an immoral, unscrupulous person.<p>The advice is based on experiences with some shady, weird people I met throughout my career. After every chapter, there&#x27;s a short story about the person who was the chapter&#x27;s inspiration. I&#x27;ve worked with those people, so everything is a first-hand experience!<p>This was my first attempt at doing something like this, so go easy on me! :)<p>One cool fact! I used entirely free and open-source software for the creation of this title. That&#x27;s why I&#x27;ll donate 10% of all the proceeds to my favorite free software projects!
