You already know these people.

The Architect who knows better than everyone about everyone's job — until you pin them down on their own. The DBA who says almost nothing, right up to the 2am moment they save the company. The Scrum Master whose title is “Servant Leader” and whose actual job is getting you to the standup on time. The stakeholder who agrees to everything and delivers nothing. You've met them all. You may, on a bad day, be one of them.

Software Development, in the Toilet is a short, dry, affectionate field guide to the software industry and the gloriously recognisable cast who keep it running (and occasionally into the ground). Fifteen roles you'll work beside, the meetings and reorgs and standups you'll survive, and a handful of lessons no one hands you on day one — each chapter engineered to be read in a single sitting. You know the sitting.

It's satire, so nobody's safe. It's affectionate, so nobody should take it personally. And it's true often enough that you'll want to leave a copy in the office. Preferably somewhere useful.

Wash your hands afterwards. From the reading, and the industry.
