To write better code and build better products we must understand why engineering and design often fail. Why is it so difficult to write bug-free code? Why do people fail to use products? And why do engineering projects go sideways? The answer to these questions lies in the shortcomings of human cognition and the nature of complexity. This book explores these topics and presents a human-centric approach to software engineering. An approach that considers and compensates for our cognitive biases, cognitive weaknesses, and the chaotic nature of the universe. The ideas presented will help you write better code, build better products, and be a more effective engineer. Their years of university Computer Science education had failed them by focusing on algorithms and the theoretical. Valuable knowledge, but not very useful in solving the problems engineers face on a daily basis. These graduates were never taught what engineering is. What are its fundamental concepts and practices?
