lynfogeek | 6 years ago | on: Ask HN: Best book / resources on leadership, especially for tech teams?

A few recommendations from me and peers in my company who highly value some of the following:

- "Managing Humans" by Michael Lopp very insightful and easy to read.

- "Accelerate: The Science of Lean Software and DevOps: Building and Scaling High Performing Technology Organizations" by Dr Nicole Forsgren brings a long research on how to organize teams for success.

- "The Manager's Path: A Guide for Tech Leaders Navigating Growth and Change" by Camille Fournier which I especially recommend for new managers.

Lastly, and this time not tech-specific, but by far my best read of 2019: "Trillion Dollar Coach: The Leadership Playbook of Silicon Valley's Bill Campbell" written by Eric Schmidt & others.

lynfogeek | 11 years ago | on: Why it’s hard to find Android developers

I tend to believe this will change in the next couple of years.

With Android Wear the whole ecosystem will attract new talent. And the new Material Design seems to be well accepted from designers.

So the apps quality should be better and company will be willing to have a great product in both platforms.
