This year I read 26 books, and looking back, a pattern emerged: I’m fascinated by systems – whether that’s the game mechanics of a dungeon crawler, the organizational charts of tech companies, or the neural wiring of my own brain.

The Peter Principle says that ‘we rise to our level of incompetence.’

Software developers are cynical about AI, specifically generative AI (GenAI) like ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and Gemini.

2024 was an incredible year, and I count myself blessed.

Recently, I had a lot of conversations about how to have more impact.

In 2023 I focused a little less on books, allowing myself more time for podcasts, lectures, talks, etc.

I took something meaningful from almost all of the 36 new books I read in 2022.

This year my reading skewed more towards non-fiction for whatever reason.

In 2020 I read 36 books.

In 2019 I read a lot of great books.
