3 Books That Are Worth Your Time - Code with Hugo - Mar 17th 2020
Welcome to the 69th Edition of the Code with Hugo newsletter about JavaScript, Node.js & Enteprise patterns.
Here are 3 books I think are worth your time in the next couple of week,
-
Improve your JavaScript testing game with Jest, I've just launched The Jest Handbook with a 30% launch discount.
-
A Memoir by the Creator of Nike, Shoe Dog, one of my favourite recent reads. It's an old school look at building a business from scratch that still resonates with the modern advice of "doing things that don't scale", overcoming competitive challenges and finding a niche.
-
Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup, Bad Blood, which was my beach-side read last summer, it's pretty much the opposite of Shoe Dog, it's a textbook on how not to do things but also a commentary on the thin line startup founders and business owners toe when making promises and ask for forgiveness instead of permission. In this case, there wasn't much in the way of forgiveness for Elizabeth Holmes.
Tweet/recommendation of the week by @mattlemay, watch the documentary "Metallica: Some kind of Monster":
That's all for this week, stay safe out there, see you next week for more JavaScript tips to help you get stuff done.
