Johanna, have you considered writing a book on managing the daily job?

Welcome!

I like the free sample on leanpub. By reading it I was wondering if you consider writing a book about managing the daily job .

Hmm, from a programmer's perspective or a manager's perspective?

If you want a book about a technical lead's perspective, you should read Roy Osherove's book Notes to a Software Team Leader. I'm writing a series of management myths, which will become a book, maybe later this year.

Andy Lester and I pair-write a monthly column for "Iterations," the Pragmatic Programmer's magazine. We are considering writing a series of short books, tentatively called "Nuts and Bolts" which would include managing the daily job for technical people. Is that what you would be interested in?

Thanks for letting me do a little marketing intelligence gathering!

You might be interested in Chris Duncan's cheerfully opinionated but very pragmatic book The Career Programmer, which looks at lots of real life challenges facing anybody who wants to build a career in a technical role in IT.
