The highly anticipated web series, Corporate Kaand 2024 Hulchul, has finally arrived on www.mo..., and it's taking the audience by storm. The first three episodes of Season 1 have been released, and they are packed with drama, intrigue, and power struggles that will keep you hooked.
Corporate Kaand 2024 Hulchul is a web series that has captured the attention of audiences worldwide. With its unique blend of drama, comedy, and social commentary, it's a must-watch for fans of digital entertainment. As we eagerly await the next episodes, one thing is clear: Corporate Kaand is a force to be reckoned with in the world of web series.
Internationally, the series aligns with shows like Silicon Valley (USA) and The Office (UK/US). Like Silicon Valley , it lampoons the tech industry's “disrupt‑or‑die” mentality, but it grounds its satire in Indian social realities—family expectations, caste considerations, and the lingering influence of traditional hierarchies. Compared to the dry humor of The Office , “Corporate Kaand” embraces a more overtly political tone, using humor as a vehicle for social critique rather than merely situational comedy.
The book is separated into six standalone parts, each part covering several chapters:
Parts 1 and 6 apply to all engineering levels: from entry-level software developers to principal or above engineers. Parts 2, 3, 4 and 5 cover increasingly senior engineering levels. These four parts group topics in chapters – such as ones on software engineering, collaboration, getting things done, and so on.
This book is more of a reference book that you can refer back to, as you grow in your career. I suggest skimming over the career levels and chapters that you are familiar with, and focus reading on topics you struggle with, or career levels where you are aiming to get to. Keep in mind that expectations can vary greatly between companies.
In this book, I’ve aimed to align the topics and leveling definitions closer to what is typical at Big Tech and scaleups: but you might find some of the topics relevant for lower career levels in later chapters. For example, we cover logging, montiroing and oncall in Part 5: “Reliable software systems” in-depth: but it’s useful – and oftentimes necessary! – to know about these practices below the staff engineer levels.
The Software Engineer's Guidebook is available in multiple languages:
You should now be able to ask your local book shops to order the book for you via Ingram Spark Print-on-demand - using the ISBN code 9789083381824. I'm also working on making the paperback more accessible in additional regions, including translated versions. Please share details here if you're unable to get the book in your country and I'll aim to remedy the situation.
I'd like to think so! The book can help you get ideas on how to help software engineers on your team grow. And if you are a hands-on engineering manager (which I hope you might be!) then you can apply the topics yourself! I wrote more about staying hands-on as an engineering manager or lead in The Pragmatic Engineer Newsletter.
I've gotten this variation of a question from Data Engineers, ML Engineers, designers and SREs. See the more detailed table of contents and the "Look inside" sample to get a better idea of the contents of the book. I have written this book with software engineers as the target group, and the bulk of the book applies for them. Part 1 is more generally applicable career advice: but that's still smaller subset of the book.
