“I wish I had this manual to give my engineers when I was a VP of Engineering at Twitter. This summarizes and presents everything I used to tell my team.”- Raffi Krikorian, Former Engineering VP at Twitter
“I hope more people embrace Edmond’s philosophy and techniques to make their companies and careers more successful.”- Bret Taylor, CEO of Quip & Former CTO of Facebook

“A computer science degree teaches you how software works, but doesn’t teach you how to work as a software engineer. This book bridges the gap, teaching you the lessons that it normally takes years to master.”- Zach Brock, Engineering Manager at Square
“The Effective Engineer walks you through the critical best practices — from goal setting, to prioritization, to making data-driven decisions — that can increase the results of your efforts and the subsequent value of your work.”- Tamar Bercovici, Senior Engineering Manager at Box

“I’m a big believer in learning by just doing and don’t typically buy into self-help style books. However, I worked with Edmond side-by-side in my first job and learned a tremendous amount from him. I was eager to read this book and found lots of new and actionable lessons. Many of the techniques on time management and leverage would’ve saved me countless hours in the past.”- Ilya Sukhar, Co-Founder and CEO of Parse (acquired by Facebook)

“I’d always thought that good engineers were born of long, hard experience, so I didn’t think a book could teach me how to be more effective. But in fact, Edmond managed to distill his decade of engineering experience into crystal-clear best practices. There is a world of difference between a great engineering team and good engineering team, and this book will help you bridge that gap.”
– Daniel Peng, Senior Staff Engineer at Google

“The Effective Engineer is a comprehensive tour of our industry’s collective wisdom written with clarity. Almost every engineer starting at Asana makes at least one substantial mistake that might have been avoided if they internalized what’s written in this book. I’m recommending it to the whole Asana engineering org.”
– Jack Heart, Engineering Manager at Asana

Product Description

The most effective engineers — the ones who have risen to become distinguished engineers and leaders at their companies — can produce 10 times the impact of other engineers, but they’re not working 10 times the hours.
They’ve internalized a mindset that took me years of trial and error to figure out. I’m going to share that mindset with you — along with hundreds of actionable techniques and proven habits — so you can shortcut those years.
Introducing The Effective Engineer — the only book designed specifically for today’s software engineers, based on extensive interviews with engineering leaders at top tech companies, and packed with hundreds of techniques to accelerate your career.
For two years, I embarked on a quest seeking an answer to one question:
How do the most effective engineers make their efforts, their teams, and their careers more successful?
I interviewed and collected stories from engineering VPs, directors, managers, and other leaders at today’s top software companies: established, household names like Google, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn; rapidly growing mid-sized companies like Dropbox, Square, Box, Airbnb, and Etsy; and startups like Reddit, Stripe, Instagram, and Lyft.
These leaders shared stories about the most valuable insights they’ve learned and the most common and costly mistakes that they’ve seen engineers — sometimes themselves — make.
This is just a small sampling of the hard questions I posed to them: What engineering qualities correlate with future success? What have you done that has paid off the highest returns? What separates the most effective engineers you’ve worked with from everyone else? What’s the most valuable lesson your team has learned in the past year? What advice do you give to new engineers on your team?
Everyone’s story is differen
