It's Time

O'Reilly's iconic animal-covered tech books have guided generations of developers, but someone finally published the sequel we've all been secretly considering. "The End of Software Engineering" promises to teach you plumbing instead—because let's be real, plumbers make more money, never get paged at 2 AM about a leaky pipe in production, and their stack overflow is literal, not existential.

The dead boar illustration is chef's kiss perfect. Nothing says "career pivot" quite like a deceased animal representing the current state of your motivation to deal with another microservices migration or explain why your estimate was off by 400%.

Plus, plumbing has way better documentation. "Turn left to tighten" beats "it works on my machine" every single time.
