This is a book born of mistakes, of failures - my own and others - of paths trodden that are better left alone, and of tidbits of wisdom that, I hope, will help you reach your goals faster and with less regret. Also: empathy is the best productivity hack, which I’ll explain later.
It’s not exclusively a coding book - it’s an “everything else” book so that when you do write code, you’re solving the right problems at the right time and in the right way for that specific context.
I have no credentials to offer, but programming language design and related philosophies have been my special interest for 22 years. I’ve been creating and shipping projects solo since I was a wee thing, and I have read tens of millions of lines of code.
