📕 New read: @kuangrf's Babel, or The Necessity of Violence. There's a lot I loved about this book. It left me pondering the nobility of sacrifice, the fragility of hope, and the courage that they both demand. https://t.co/tx39XmkdAn

📘 I had mixed feelings about @doctorow's Red Team Blues. It was quite entertaining overall but it didn't give me the cannot-put-down-until-finished kind of vibe I expected. Still, I'm curious to read the next one in the series. https://t.co/RqlZmYxdb8

📖 The Fragile Threads of Power, by @veschwab. What a promising start to this new trilogy! So much of what I loved from the Shades of Magic universe is still here, but also a lot of novelty and very strong characters building. ✨ https://t.co/DxeZCf4DbS

📚 New book: The Coaching Habit, by @mbs_works. Packed with very practical advice on how to refrain from giving advice. A quick and impactful read for the leader in you. https://t.co/l6urAu3Dpv

[Kevin Plattret @kplattret]

📖 I read @sarah_edo's book, Engineering Management for the Rest of Us, and I loved it! I'd recommend it to anyone considering this career move. https://t.co/c4HAob5O5w

@southbankcentre 100-character password didn't work. 50 characters, still no luck. 30 worked fine, but that really wasn't obvious! A good opportunity to fairly quickly improve the user experience.

@southbankcentre Hi there! Your registration page is silently erroring because of a submitted value being too long. I think that's probably my password so I'll try again, but you might want to add some helpful validation here. 🙏

[Kevin Plattret @kplattret]

Haha. Oh, this rings too true in some parts: The Nerd Handbook https://t.co/XgLvr0SRKN It gave me a good laugh anyway. cc @VincentTouati

@algo_luca @TrueLayer It's been a real pleasure working with you Luca, and witnessing the impact you've had in the company and beyond. Best of luck for your next adventure – onwards and upwards! 🙌

[Kevin Plattret @kplattret]

@Joost_vOorschot @wallislgrant Congrats to the two of you! 🎉 🥂

"Zero To Production In Rust" is complete 🦀

It is a start-to-finish guide for building APIs using @rustlang.
A mix of pragmatic advice and foundational concepts.

@zero2prod is the book I wished I had when I started.

Two years in the making - it feels surreal to be *done*.

[Kevin Plattret @kplattret]

@jonnyburch Yes please!

[Kevin Plattret @kplattret]

@RichardKSense I read Four Seasons in Rome by Anthony Doerr last year. Didn’t think too much of it, but I’d certainly like to read more of his work.

[Kevin Plattret @kplattret]

@PopMeetings Will do, thank you!

[Kevin Plattret @kplattret]

Hey folks @PopMeetings! I've been using Pop for a year and a half now and I just *love* the product. ❤ I'm wondering if you're planning to add support for ARM (think Raspberry Pi) by any chance?

[Kevin Plattret @kplattret]

What a great event that was – thanks for all the fun @TrueLayer and team! ❤
