Software Development Editorial Review
"The Missing README: A Guide for the New Software Engineer" is not just for new software engineers but also for those who have been in this field for a while. The book provides practical advice and anecdotes that are not covered in most technical books or CS studies. It covers all the important topics in software engineering, including testing and release management, and also includes a "Level Up" section with additional resources at the end of each chapter. The book is accessible even to non-engineers, and it is recommended not only for junior engineers but also for senior engineers who mentor juniors, managers, and even non-engineers who want to understand software engineering culture.

“I ordered the Flowtime Biofeedback Headband from Ubuy. I reside in South Africa. I was very impressed with the ease of purchase, parcel tracking, and speed of service. My package arrived much earlier than anticipated. I am very impressed with the service and would highly recommend it. Hence the 5 stars.”

“I bought Huckberry Flint & Tinder blazer at Ubuy. My request for a return was rejected at first but later I received an apology message willing to resolve the matter without placing any burden on me. I really appreciate their resolution. The blazer was collected yesterday by DHL couriers on behalf of Ubuy. They can only do a refund and not offer a bigger size as i expected, but i am fine with that too. ”
