Excellent list , a wealth of knowledge in this list

[John Crickett @johncrickett]

9 books I want to read in 2024:

📘The Software Engineer’s Guidebook by @GergelyOrosz - From what I’ve had time to read so far it’s a great book and an incredibly useful guide to a career in software engineering.

📓Tidy First by @KentBeck - I’ve enjoyed reading the Tidy First newsletter a lot this year.

📙Show Your Work by @austinkleon - I think I could do more to build Coding Challenges in public creating a better, shorter feedback loop. And like software engineering writing and building Coding Challenges will benefit from shorter feedback loops.

📘Smart Brevity by Roy Schwartz, Mike Allen, and Jim VandeHei - Jordan Cutler has recommended this several times and I’m always keen to improve my writing.

📖 Atomic Habbits by @JamesClear - I’ve made writing and posting on LinkedIn a habit in 2023 now I’m looking to build more useful habits.

📕The Mom Test by @robfitz - Back to those feedback loops! I need to talk to more people about Coding Challenges and this seems like a good read to maximise the return on my time.

📙Obviously Awesome by @aprildunford - Everyone should learn to sell and a key part of good sales is positioning. I’ve watched April Dunford demonstrate her expertise in several great talks on YouTube, now I want to read the book.

📒The One Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan - It’s easy to get distracted, so I’m intending to read this and ensure I’m being productive and focusing in the One Thing I need to.

📓Learning Go: An Idiomatic Approach to Real-world Go Programming by @jonbodner - A project based approach to learning Go, what’s not to like?

What are you looking forward to reading and why?

Prediction: 2024 will feel like a breakthrough year in terms of AI capability, safety, and general positivity about its potential impact. In the longer term, it'll look like just one more year on an exponential that can make everyone's lives better than anyone's today.
