Congrats! I wrote my own book on a similar topic (link to site in my profile) and I can say without question it was one of my top 5 proudest professional moments. Books are a big deal.

And we need more on this topic to help more developers get better at building software faster. (The tech is part of that, but so is the communication.)

So, again, congrats!

Thanks! And congrats on your book as well. It turned out to be way more work than I imagined, but it was worth it. I ended up learning and growing as an engineer myself during the whole process. Getting the right words down on paper really forces you to organize your thoughts and clarify what points you're trying to make.

I'm hoping this helps junior devs focus on the soft skills earlier in their career, rather than putting them off until they're ready for the promotion.
