What's on the desk

Reading

A loose record of what I'm reading and what stuck. Mostly on software and craft, with the occasional detour.

Currently

The Timeless Way of Building — Christopher Alexander

Slow, strange, and quietly changing how I think about making things.

Tidy First? — Kent Beck

Small structural changes, one at a time. A calming read.

Finished

A Philosophy of Software Design — John Ousterhout

The chapter on deep modules earned its keep.

The Pragmatic Programmer — Hunt & Thomas

A re-read. Different lines land at different ages.

Several Short Sentences About Writing — Verlyn Klinkenborg

Not about code, but it made my code comments better.
