A review by dorinlazar
Rise of The Coders by Issartial, Thomas Gx

4.0

I follow CommitStrip online and I participated to the Kickstarter campaign to publish this book - and it was quite what I expected. A collection of some of the best CommitStrip pages, and some new ones.

I love the sincere love for coding of the author, and I relate to some of the strips that show some snippets from real life of developers. I think that the developer folklore is well represented here, and some things are really worth sharing (and I probably shared across the time I watched their strip)

The characters are quite nicely drawn, and they are interesting and relatable. There is no „evil” character, although some characters are placed in a bad light. And it's quite a nice step away from vilification of certain classes of characters (the way, for example, Scott Adams vilifies the managers). And this is a nice change.
