Hussein Nasser announces his new book 'Root Cause', a collection of 15 chapters covering real backend engineering bugs encountered over 20 years. Each chapter tells the story of a specific bug — from performance bottlenecks and race conditions to data corruption and non-deterministic crashes — walking through investigation, diagrams, and fundamental concepts until the root cause is revealed. The book targets engineers curious about how production backend systems behave under pressure and how to debug them without access to source code.
