The Great Merge by a Copy-Paste Developer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789198778472)

Meet Leo Larsson once again- a software developer and a meltdown survivor.

When Leo traded the UK for Swedish serenity, it seemed like the perfect reboot. But the dream is fast approaching an abrupt shutdown.

When the company announces a surprise merger, the existence of Leo's underperforming team is thrown into jeopardy as the threat of office closure hangs in the air like an unchecked exception.

With the team's fate hanging by a thread, Leo faces the horrifying possibility of another breakdown, personal bankruptcy, and the end to the weekly visits to the technophobic therapist, Ulrik. Leo must save the office, no matter the cost.

The solution seems simple enough. Game the performance metrics, bedazzle them with flash-fashion programming, and do the impossible: a Great Merge.

But there's a catch.

Leo's grip on reality is slipping, and Leo's brilliant ideas could just as easily backfire.
