Book Announcement: Tales of Software Engineers

What’s the opposite of ‘writers block’? I have been through the phase where I just can’t come up with anything. No ideas, no words, not even the passion to write. And then there is this phase where I’m swamped with ideas. Too many of them. And I don’t have enough time to work on those….
