Teaching Tech Together Book Summary. I finally had time to read it, and I'm pretty happy about it. If you're going to teach programming, then it's a must-read.

I want to improve my memory of everyday life, and I've put together my research and experiments I'm going to try in this post.

Books I'm reading #

You Are Not a Rock: A Step-By-Step Guide to Better Mental Health by Mark Freeman

Books I've read #

• Learning Go: An Idiomatic Approach to Real-World Go Programming by Jon Bodner. It's a good intro to the language. It should be your first book. It's probably not worth it if you've already familiar with Golang basics.
• Prometheus: Up & Running: Infrastructure and Application Performance Monitoring by Brian Brazil
• Teaching Tech Together. You can read my summary here.

In Polish #

• Zły by Leopold Tyrmand. Quite an interesting story and a lot about Warsaw around 1950. It's pretty long because of the long descriptions, and while I usually can't stand them, for some reason, it worked in this one. I can recommend it.
• Inteligentny Inwestor XXI wieku Tom III trader21. This one is about creating a wallet of assets and how to think about diversification and how it can be helpful.

Elsewhere on the Web #

Robert Reich. I want to recommend his whole channel. I like seeing different opinions about politics and find his videos well-researched and entertaining. I highly recommend it.

Biophilia #

What Makes Buildings Beautiful (And Why Beauty Does Matter) | The Aesthetic City. I highly recommend this one as it made me question the ideas of beauty, the environment, and where I want to live. From there, I started noticing things I wasn't conscious of, like my preferences for patterns and symmetries.

AI #

ChatGPT Gets a Computer. Great dive into computing and theories of intelligence in the context of ChatGPT.

Programming AIs worry me. I want to recommend this one, especially for the short story of proofreading in the context of coding:

Over time I bent my workflow around proofreading, like putting each spoken sentence on a newline to break my reading flow. This helped find more errors but made the whole process even more miserable, and eventually I just gave up and went back to typing.

How many STEPS should I walk per day to stay HEALTHY? | Jeffrey Peng MD. TLDR; Minimum 4k steps, and optimal probably around 7500 steps per day. More is better.

Personal Thoughts #

The biggest change is taking a break from work. I will take a little more time with my son, especially when he won't be able to attend kindergarten, but I also want to get some new perspective and catch up on my todo-list.
