It’s been said that software is eating the planet. The modern economy—the world itself—relies on technology. Demand for the people who can produce it far outweighs the supply. So why do developers occupy largely subordinate roles in the corporate structure?
Developer Hegemony explores the past, present, and future of the corporation and what it means for developers. While it outlines problems with the modern corporate structure, it’s ultimately a play-by-play of how to leave the corporate carnival and control your own destiny. And it’s an emboldening, specific vision of what software development looks like in the world of developer hegemony—one where developers band together into partner firms of “efficiencers,” finally able to command the pay, respect, and freedom that’s earned by solving problems no one else can.
Developers, if you grow tired of being treated like geeks who can only be trusted to take orders and churn out code, consider this your call to arms. Bring about the autonomous future that’s rightfully yours. It’s time for developer hegemony.
Developer Hegemony The Future of Labor eBook Erik Dietrich Amanda Muledy
While I found this book to be incredibly enlightening, and would honestly recommend it to anyone working in software development, or in knowledge work in general, I found the conclusion to be unsatisfying. But I think that's okay... more below.This book not only put a name to many frustrations I've felt in my career, but also helped make me aware of a few phenomena I had never really even noticed. It paints a pretty glum picture of the corporate world, but promises light at the end of the tunnel.
And I believe there is light at the end of the tunnel, but I also think the author's vision (small teams of "efficiencer" consultancy firms) is a bit too narrowly-focused (and the only reason I didn't offer 5 stars). But that shouldn't detract from the book as descriptive, and thought-provoking.
I highly recommend this book.

Developer Hegemony The Future of Labor eBook Erik Dietrich Amanda Muledy Reviews
Erik Dietrich nails it. What more can I say.
I loved this book. I'm not even a software developer but as a (non-IT) technical guy I found the lessons in the book are applicable to any smart technical person who's disillusioned with being forced to choose between tech, where you stay in the trenches, and management, where you get paid more but have to sell your soul
All the depth and insight of looking at your own reflection in a shallow puddle. Well done making a few $ out of this trite, humourless and tedious narative, maybe worth a read if you are thinking of writing on a similar topic, just so you know how low the bar really is.
I read therefore I am. MACINTOSH WAY, CROSSING THE CHASM, MYTHICAL MAN MONTH, PEOPLEWARE, SWITCH, GETTING THINGS DONE, INVENTION AND EVOLUTION, SCIENCES OF THE ARTIFICIAL, THINKING FAST AND SLOW, etc. DEVELOPER HEGEMONY is an instant add to my book pantheon.
This book is amazing! Erik has an easy to read format that will have you reading through this faster than you might think.
I have been frustrated with why the corporate world didn't quite make sense to me. I've had longings and dreams that the way we do business could be better. This book puts all of that into words.
However, this book is not for the feint of heart. It raises tough questions. At times I was cheering Erik on as he describes things I hadn't quite put to words, or was backing it up with a quick history lesson. But at other times it makes you question your own motives and longings.
Thoroughly enjoyable read. Thought provoking. Loved every page.
If you are a developer, do yourself a favor and read this book!
I say polemic because Dietrich pulls no punches in saying what he thinks about all aspects of software development, his experience in the industry, what he sees as the future of developer labor, and related topics. I'm a professional productivity trainer and consultant and found his take bold and compelling, with numerous examples, metaphors, and case studies pointing the way to the future he describes. I highly recommend this book not only for developers seeking greater autonomy in their careers, but for any knowledge worker trying to figure out what the next level of a career in thinking looks like.
I'm reading this at every opportunity, but wanted to offer an early review Eric's articulation of the corporate pyramid tracks very well with my experiences. His breakdown of economic interests & gains is well done and long over-due. Unfortunately for me, I can attest the accuracy of the compensation model he describes. I especially recommend this to young knowledge workers.
While I found this book to be incredibly enlightening, and would honestly recommend it to anyone working in software development, or in knowledge work in general, I found the conclusion to be unsatisfying. But I think that's okay... more below.
