Hello, friends.Hope you’ve had a great week.After a hiatus due to exams, I am very excited to continue our journey together.
I’ve always felt that email is very intimate. It’s very direct.That's why I promised myself I would only ever send things that I think would matter to you. Things you'd find helpful or interesting. Something of value.In 2021, that’s one of my most important goals. To provide as much value as I can.Here’s to a great year 🎉
What I've Made for You
Book Notes
The Bed of Procrustes by Nassim Nicholas TalebA bit too opinionated for my tastes. But it does contain some great snippets.👉 Read my notesA Million Miles in a Thousand Years by Donald MillerIt was a great story. It's easy to get lost in. There were many great lessons in there, too.👉 Read my notesDeveloper Hegemony: The Future of Labor by Erik DietrichThe book makes some great points. Highly enlightening. If you are any kind of knowledge-worker — especially a software engineer — you should read it. If not for any other reason than to form your own opinions about the ones presented.👉 Read my notesTiny Habits by B.J FoggGreat book about habits. Somewhat on par, for me, with Atomic Habits. But very different in style.👉 Read my notesThe Obstacle Is The Way by Ryan HolidayThis is one of the first books I read on Stoicism (and philosophy in general). It has massively influenced me throughout the years. Highly recommended.👉 Read my notes
