I decided to start compiling the most interesting things I have red or listened to each month. Primary to see what I consume but I hope that you will find something interesting here too.

I started to going through Ted Goya “humanities in 52 weeks”, I will not (most probably) follow it week by week but I will take the readings as a suggestions.

Books

Plato Euthyphro Are things good because they are good? Or are they good because we thing about them this way? Ask Aristotle review I really like this short book by Altamira studio. What struck me most was how the philosophy aligned to mine… I will continue to explore the Aristotelian thinking and go to the source itself.

Articles

Rao reading algorithm Maybe a bit over my head but interesting peek into the mind of someone who really take his reading seriously. I would like to be also so systematic… Dan Luu - Some reasons to work on productivity and velocity I struggled with productivity last two months. This is one of the best articles for programmers, more about why to be productive but a few tipsa also. I tried to record myself programming, started to use few shortcuts and hope this will compound. Nabeel S. Qureshi - principles I like list of principles and I am working on my own. Few great gems in here:

Do things fast. Things don’t actually take much time (as measured by a stopwatch); resistance/procrastination does. “Slow is fake”. If no urgency exists, impose some.

Pay attention to your production/consumption balance. If you’re only consuming and not producing, fix that.

Harimus - Kakizome, Japanese way of new-years resolution I have my tradition of setting new year goals. Looking back I start to gravitate to similar approach to not having hard SMART goals but “theme of the year”. The kaligraphy part really give the practice an elegance. Thorsten Ball - No, typing can be the bottleneck I think about friction a lot lately. And a lot of things I want to do have writing as a component. Removing friction by being able to put my thougths on the screen efortless is a big friction remover
