Abstract

It’s time to move on and get back to the daily battles you face in your job. I close this book with an extended metaphor, asking you to envision yourself as a ship on a stormy sea. This sea is software development in the twenty-first century, and it’s likely to be as turbulent and as wonderful as that of the twentieth century. To navigate this sea successfully, you’ll need a deep and strong rudder to stay your course, a large and sturdy sail to catch the wind, and an anchor to keep you steady. I hope this book will help you keep your boat afloat.
