The Phoenix Project

The writing is sitcom bad. Bill, the main character, spouts off negative, derogatory stereotypes against some members of the IT profession that were off putting at best, and insulting at worst. Eric, Bill's mentor, is basically a jerk who enjoys the “game” of showing how much smarter he is than those around him.

Normally, in a novel this might be legitimate, but in this “teaching” story, it just undermines the actual point of the book. It's better than a textbook, but a lot of BS to wade through to get there, especially when the point of DevOps is to build bridges between operations/infrastructure and development, not burn them down.
