Summed up in one sentence, Peopleware says this: give smart people physical space, intellectual responsibility and strategic direction. DeMarco and Lister advocate private offices and windows. They advocate creating teams with aligned goals and limited non-team work. They advocate managers finding good staff and putting their fate in the hands of those staff. The manager's function, they write, is not to make people work but to make it possible for people to work.

Why is Peopleware so important to Microsoft and a handful of other successful companies? Why does it inspire such intense devotion amongst the elite group of people who think about software project management for a living? Its direct writing and its amusing anecdotes win it friends. So does its fundamental belief that people will behave decently given the right conditions. Then again, lots of books read easily, contain funny stories and exude goodwill. Peopleware's persuasiveness comes from its numbers - from its simple, cold, numerical demonstration that improving programmers' environments will make them more productive.

The numbers in Peopleware come from DeMarco and Lister's Coding War Games, a series of competitions to complete given coding and testing tasks in minimal time and with minimal defects. The Games have consistently confirmed various known facts of the software game. For instance, the best coders outperform the ten-to-one, but their pay seems only weakly linked to their performance. But DeMarco and Lister also found that the best-performing coders had larger, quieter, more private workspaces. It is for this one empirical finding that Peopleware is best known.

(As an aside, it's worth knowing that DeMarco and Lister tried to track down the research showing that open-plan offices make people more productive. It didn't exist. Cubicle makers just kept saying it, without evidence - a technique Peopleware describes as "proof by repeated assertion".)

Around their Coding Wars data, DeMarco and Lister assembled a theory: that managers should help programmers, designers, writers and other brainworkers to reach a state that psychologists call "flow" - an almost meditative condition where people can achieve important leaps towards solving complex problems. It's the state where you start work, look up, and notice that three hours have passed. But it takes time - perhaps fifteen minutes on average - to get into this state. And DeMarco and Lister that today's typical noisy, cubicled, Dilbertesque office rarely allows people 15 minutes of uninterrupted work. In other words, the world is full of places where a highly-paid and dedicated programmer or creative artist can spend a full day without ever getting any hard-core work. Put another way, the world is full of cheap opportunities for people to make their co-workers more productive, just by building their offices a bit smarter.

A decade and a half after Peopleware was written, and after the arrival of a new young breed of IT companies called Web development firms, it would be nice to think DeMarco and Lister's ideas have been widely adopted. Instead, they remain widely ignored. In an economy where smart employees can increasingly pick and choose, it will be interesting to see how much longer this ignorance can continue.

讀後感

評分

在这本书的扉页上,写着这样的一句话:在成千上万的书架上,《人件》永远和《人月神话》并列在一起。 作为一本主要讨论软件组织中人文环境因素的著作来说,这本书面向的主要对象应该是软件组织的管理者。 但这真是一本令人震惊的书,看来无论国内国外,软件业的...

在你从事软件开发这个行当的任何一个阶段和任何一个位置你都应该阅读的好书。在这个行业呆得越久,你越会发现这本书讲的这些绝对是真理。 唯一一本我任何时候更换办公位置都随身携带的书  

評分

Peopleware 通译《人件》,是在软件开发领域与《人月神话(The Mythical Man-Month)》齐名的著作,其讨论的主要观点是【软件系统的主要问题不在于技术,而在于社会性因素】。书中探讨的内容在一定程度上适用于包括软件开发的一系列脑力劳动,其中对加班的讨论在如今 996 工作制...

淡定,“很差”不是给“Peopleware”的,而是给UMLChina翻译团队的,你懂得。 我没有比对英文原著,所以只能从文中中英文并存的部分来窥豹一斑。比如Software State-of-art翻译为“软件的艺术状态”,这个实在是copycat的要命。整本书文字不算多,内容的确非常有料,可是拖拖...  

評分

说实话,这本书写得很好~~ 虽然我只读了一遍,里边还有东西不是很了解,但是我敢说,对于一个管理者而言,这的确是本好书! 我也同意楼上有为XD说的:这是本为程序员声张正义的图书! 作为一个好员工,同样也应该了解管理! 我是个底层的小管理者,管理着一帮学生,书中或多或少还是给了我...
