This page includes an infrequently-updated of interesting articles I have read recently and think to be significantly impactful.
Computer Science & Software Engineering
- “Worse is Better” - An essay which describes how the “perfectly designed” software loses “worse-designed” counterparts. I think every software engineer should read this once.
Lifestyle, Productivity and Philosophy
- “Why do Ivy League students self-sabotage?” - This phenomenon is applicable outside the Ivy leagues, and beautifully explained.
- “Deep Work” (Book) - This book explains how much productive work we lose due to distractions and shallow, fungible work, and also motivates the reader to adapt a lifestyle of deep, uninterrupted work.
Humour
- The Hustle - It’s a satire, if you don’t get it.
