About the Book

Learning to fail lovingly is an art - especially in IT. Whether you're writing code or managing projects. Whether you're a newbie or a seasoned pro. Whether you swear by C#, Rust, or some obscure language only you and its inventor have heard of. This book is for everyone who started out with big dreams... and then slammed into a wall at full speed. And for those who'd prefer to avoid that particular experience. "42 Ways to Lovingly Fail in IT" is no ordinary tech book. It's a survival guide for developers - and for everyone who's ever sat in a daily stand-up and thought: "Am I the only one who finds this completely absurd?" What's inside: 42 charmingly satirical ways to crash your IT projects with maximum flair Real-life anecdotes so ridiculous they must be true Humorous yet thought-provoking reflections on technical (and human) missteps Comfort for anyone who's ever taken "testing is for others" a bit too literally Emergency exits for when you've coded yourself into a corner Perfect for reading, chuckling, gifting - and failing with style Who is this book for? For everyone working in IT - or who has at least tried. For anyone who's had a brush with Scrum, Git, logging, deployments, or death by PowerPoint. For all those who enjoy a good failure... as long as they can laugh about it afterward.
