had to identify what it meant to be one of those people and do what it

took. So, I announced to Steve that I was going to become one of those

people.

That was the turning point of my career. I somehow forgot it until

years later when Steve reminded me of the conversation. I had told

him about the fact that I had, for the ﬁrst time, been invited to give a

keynote speech at a conference. I was blown away that anyone would

ask me of all people to not only speak but to deliver one of the main

addresses to a software conference. I had indeed become one of those

people I had aspired to become.

college to study music. Since musicians don’t beneﬁt much f rom col-

lege degrees, I chose to avoid any class that didn’t help me be a bet-

ter musician. This means I left the university with more credits than

required for any degree but still a few years worth of actual class time

before I could graduate. In that way, I’m unqualiﬁed to be a profes-

sional software developer—at least if you look at the typical require-

ments for a software engineering position on the job market.

But, though I’m unqualiﬁed to be a typica l software developer, my

background as a musician gave me one key insight that ultimately

allowed me to skip the step of being a typical software developer (who

wants to be typical, anyway?). Nobody bec omes a musician because

they want to get a job and lead a stable and comfortable life. The music

industry is too cruel an environment for this to be a feasible plan. Peo-

ple who be c ome professional musicians all want to be great.Atleast

when starting out, greatness is binary in the music world. A musician

wants to either be great (and famous for it!) or not do it at all.

I’m often asked why it is that there are so many good musicians who

are also good software developers. That’s the reason. It’s not b ecause

the brain functions are the same or that they’re both detail-oriented or

oth require creativity. It’s because a person who wants to be great is

far more likely to become great than someone who just wants to do

their job. And even if we can’t all be Martin Fowler, Linus Torvalds, or

the Pragmatic Programmers, setting a high target makes it likely that

we’ll at least land somewhere far above average.

You Own It

Most people follow everyone else’s plan but their own. To start differ-

entiating yourself, all you have to do is stop and take a good look at

your career. You need to be following your plan for you—not theirs.

How do you come up with this plan? Software is a business. As soft-

ware developers, we are businesspeople. Our companies don’t employ

us because they love us. They never have, and they never will. That’s

not the job of a business. Businesses don’t exist so we can have a place

to go every day. The purpose of a business is to make money. To excel

at a company, you’re going to have to understand how you ﬁt into the

business’s plan to make money.

As we’ll explore later, keeping you employed costs your company a

signiﬁcant amount of money. Your company is investing in you. Your

challenge is to become an obviously good investment. You will start to

judge your own performance in terms of the business value you bring

to the organization or customer who is employing you.

Think of your career as if it is the life cycle of a product that you a re

creating. Tha t product is made up of you and your skills. In this book,

we’ll look at four facets that a business must focus on when designing,

manufacturing, and selling a product. And we’ll see how these four

facets can be applied to our careers:

• Choose your market. Pick the technologies and the business do-

mains you focus on consciously and deliberately. How do you

balance risk and reward? How do supply and demand fa ctor into

the decision?

• Invest in your product. Your knowledge and skills are the cor-

nerstone of your product. Properly investing in them is a critical

part of making yourself marketable. Simply knowing how to pro-

gram in Visual Basic or Java isn’t good enough anymore. What

other skills might you need in the new economy?
