Reading-List on Notes from the Rabbit Hole

Reading & Writing Updates

During this calm before our family Christmas storm, I thought I’d drop a fresh State of the Nerd report. This one was going to be all over the map, as I’ve been very busy with a lot of things. But it became clear as I was writing it that it would be too long even if I just narrowed the scope to what I was reading and writing.

Reading Stuff

I’m back to my old habit of parallelized reading, so I’ve got a number of in-progress books right now that I’m jumping back and forth between.

update of random stuff

I haven’t been blogging enough. I thought I’d just throw random updates out there and see what resonates.

Health & Wellness

Back in September we moved to a new office space that, from a sensory overload and anxiety perspective, has not been good for me. In that time, I’ve gained fifty pounds. I’ve been putting some effort recently into losing that weight. Starting from three hundred and twenty pounds, I’m down to three hundred and four in about a month. Not bad.

Reading List

I’m not dead. :) Though I have been blogging a little for Bronto Engineering Blog.

I’ve been working on compiling a reading list page here. This will be a curated list of books that I’ve read and find to be foundational to running a good business of any kind, especially a software company or any other kind of technology-heavy venture.

Also, I’ll be speaking at Triangle DevOps again on September 17th. The talk will be aimed at line managers and executives who’ve bought into the idea of DevOps but don’t know where to start or how to measure success.
