Overview

The Kollected Kode Vicious brings together Kode Vicious essays on building more effective computer systems: some of the most popular and respected essays ever published by ACMs Queue Magazine. These entertaining and incisive explorations, written as Socratic Q&A dialogues, are complemented with never-before-published material that illuminate KVs broader themes and offer new advice on code spelunking and other issues. KVs essays range from very specific coding advice to wide-ranging discussions of building distributed systems, working with difficult people, and hosting code reviews.
