While I appreciate the effort you put into writing this book, I can't help but wonder how different your advice will be from what's already available. Many books and resources claim to offer mentorship and guidance, but they often fall short of providing practical, actionable advice.
I get your concern about proliferation in mentorship books. We combined our real life experiences in this book. We blended with our work experience in startups and large organizations.
We’re excited to share our newly published book with you, and we’d like to tell you a bit about our journey.
Ender and I have been friends since school. We attended classes together, collaborated on projects, and eventually graduated. Our paths diverged when he moved to the United States and I relocated to Ireland, but our friendship remained strong. Throughout our careers, we tackled various side hustles and learned a lot from our jobs.
One thing we always felt was missing was a mentor, someone we would love to freely ask questions and get answers, not just about software engineering, but about life in general. We didn’t always make the best decisions, both professionally and personally, and we realized how beneficial it would have been to have guidance.
In June 2022, during one of our calls, we talked about the value of having such a mentor. That conversation sparked the idea for this project. We decided to write a book encompassing everything we believe is crucial for both work and life.
We’re now excited to share our book with you and hope it serves as the mentor we wished we had.
Looking forward to your feedback and thoughts!
