I had a nice little break from posting, but the random links of random things are back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I read <em>fiction<\/em> during my break. I <em>like<\/em> fiction, but I read so many other books that I don&#8217;t make time for it. I read four books over break, but I am an absolute sucker for books about time travel. I just find it interesting to see how yet-another-author tries to explain how time travel works in their made up world. Nobody does a great job, but I read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/42046112-recursion\">Recursion<\/a>, by Blake Crouch, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/en\/book\/show\/60522318\">Lost In Time<\/a>, by A.G. Riddle, and both authors made a reasonable attempt. Neither of these two are literary masterpieces, but they were fun reads (Recursion being a bit better).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>One link will get you many &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/nudge.unblocked.engineering\/p\/writing-and-improving-code-with-ai\">this is the first post in a series on Writing and Improving Code with AI<\/a>. I think the people who figure out how to accelerate and improve their work through AI will be the superstars of the future.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Linked in shared their Develo<a href=\"https:\/\/linkedin.github.io\/dph-framework\/\">per Productivity and Happiness Framework<\/a>. I think it&#8217;s definitely worth browsing (if not bookmarking).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I read this article on <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2023\/12\/8-essential-qualities-of-successful-leaders\">8 Essential Qualities of Successful Leaders<\/a> &#8211; it&#8217;s pretty good, and there&#8217;s nothing I disagree with &#8211; but given that the attributes lean heavily on the human side, I think <em>self-reflection<\/em> may be missing. Without the ability to look at yourself, and the way you&#8217;re coming across, some of these would be hard to master.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Here&#8217;s a fun one to close with. A developer thought they were interviewing. Instead, the fake hiring company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bleepingcomputer.com\/news\/security\/blockchain-devs-wallet-emptied-in-job-interview-using-npm-package\/\">drained their crypto wallet<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s good to be back &#8211; thanks for reading (and thanks internet for an endless supply of interesting articles)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy New Year FfF readers.
