Wrights deliberately provocative column Hard Code has been sparking debate amongst thousands of engineers at Microsoft for years. And now (despite our better instincts), were making his opinions available to everyone.
In this collection of 49 columns, Eric Brechners alter ego pulls no punches with his candid commentary and best practice solutions to the issues that irk him the most. He dissects the development process, examines tough team issues, and critiques how the software business is run-with the added touch of clever humor and sardonic wit. His ideas arent always popular (not that he cares), but they do stimulate the discussion and imagination needed to drive software excellence.
