These books are about time management, project management, culture, workspaces... and reasonably applicable to all domains - not just software development.
Death marches are often software projects, but I've seen some lawyers on a "death march" case where its dragging on and on.
The ideas of Slack are applicable to every job - though especially those of knowledge workers (the book is likely as good for building architects as it is for software developers). Similar things about productivity and desk space are also true for architects and software developers.
They're good books and interesting things to read... but they're not books about software development as software.
