I wrote this book because I had been going from company to company writing software for newspaper publishing, satellite imaging and banking following a long tenure at the enterprise software powerhouse: Sun Microsystems. During that time I started to realize that something was wrong. I was no longer enthused. I used to wake up in the morning anticipating the challenge of the day; unsure how I would address the problem at hand; and enjoying the tantalizing hint of fear that I would fail to resolve it. That experience has become disconnected from my professional life and I thought that an analysis was warranted. There are plenty of programming jobs out there but there are almost no jobs in software engineering. One may begin as a programmer, typing up code to make machines do our bidding; but, eventually, once coding has become second nature, one will crave to do something truly interesting.
