I was pretty busy recently. It's the middle of December when I finally have some time to look back.

New post #

• How to tell stories? Summary and Review of Storyworthy by Matthew Dicks.

I've put together all my notes in a long post. Hope you will find it useful.

Books I've read #

• Programming TypeScript: Making Your JavaScript Applications Scale by Boris Cherny
  

I don't know how to rate this book. The content is great. There are jokes to make it more approachable. Unfortunately, I didn't learn much from it. Not sure why. Maybe you need some experience with TypeScript for it to stick?

• Fantasy book Black Prism, but in Polish—Czarny pryzmat by Brent Weeks. It's interesting, but a little too predictable for me.

Elsewhere on the Web #

• I've heard a lot about Group Development stages: Forming, Storming, Norming and Performing. It's used a lot by managers and HR. Unfortunately, most of them don't know that Tuckman's theory is wrong. Read more: Tuckman Was Wrong!

• I've seen some good reviews of the "Why We Sleep" book.Matthew Walker's "Why We Sleep" Is Riddled with Scientific and Factual Errors by Alexey Guzey. Must read critique if you've read the book.

• Actually, the Worst Word on the Planet Is 'Actually'.
