What is Reddit's opinion of Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I'd highly suggest getting hold of the Tom DeMarco book Peopleware (get the most recent, Third Edition). It's about the working environment for technical/creative workers, and deals with issues concerning the office environment. The Kindle edition is under $20, and you'll be able to read it immediately.

I'll crack open EFFICIENCY IN LEARNING and see what I can find. 2nd music factoid: As I recall DeMarco and Lister who measured programmer productivity noted that programmers who listened to music were more than twice as likely to miss that a programming task outputs the input. I think that is in PEOPLEWARE. Peopleware is also great for knowledge worker productivity. You need a large desk to spread work out on etc.

I'm going to be blunt with you - you are not ready for this. I don't care if you're the second coming of Donald Knuth. You simply haven't had enough time wrestling with unique problems, making architectural decisions, and so on to be a competent developer. You should not be excited. You should be terrified and you should have said no.

Since you are in this position, lead from behind. Take advice from your team. Do what seems reasonable. Focus on being an excellent leader of people and avoid imposing your will on the team. Stay humble and continue devouring all you can on good software design practices.

And read Peopleware.
