2024


Some reviews for 2024. This won’t cover the entirety of what I read in in any given year (I regularly read anywhere from 150 - 300+ books/year), only the ones that I felt were worth highlighting. Links are not sponsored; I am not particularly motivated to put that sort of effort. Sometimes the links are not books but rather articles or papers instead. You’ll very rarely see textbooks here as I don’t really consider a textbook finished until I’m done with it, and that might take years.

tidy first (kent beck)

Very short and I think a good framework to think about things.

playing to win (ag lafley, roger martin)

amazon link

Probably the most useful framework for strategy that I’ve read to date. Not necessarily the best (as I don’t read enough of this genre to have a sufficiently good feel where this might rank), but a good enough framework for me personally. Good enough to put into production for myself, at least.

From one of the talks from a cpp conference. An immense amount of fun to watch. Made me realize I don’t always hate life in tech now.
