Through witty dialogue and relatable scenarios, the book captures the essence of what it means to be a developer in today's fast-paced digital landscape.

Whether you're a seasoned programmer who's lived through these experiences or someone just starting out as a developer, this novel offers both entertainment and insight into the world of software development and startups.
