I'm curious enough about some of the content in this book that I'd consider reading it if the price was cheaper (maybe $10-15 or so).
Unfortunately this book seems too all-over-the-map to be particularly useful to where I'm at in my own coding career: about 18 months into it.
There are two pieces to this book if I read the marketing pages correctly:
* First, the overplayed trope of "How to get hired as a Pr0gRaMmar!!!1" -- a cottage industry nearly as large as the field of engineering itself
* Second, the less-played trope of, "Here are some actionable ways to develop your career path under the severe time constraints that an engineering career will present you with"
If this text were more exclusively drilled down into the second topic rather than the first, I'd probably make the purchase.
However, I don't feel like spending time reading through a lot of things that I either already know, or that don't apply to me.
