Reading List: May 7 - May 13
I've been going through my podcast backlog so this week has a lot of podcasts.
Building Software for Yourself (Podcast) - I build a lot of things that I have no idea if anyone will ever see or use. I find it a great way to learn and improve my chops. (changelog.com)
Welcome to the Era of the Hyper-Surveilled Office - I'm glad I work for an employer who trusts us to get our work done and doesn't feel the need to constantly surveil us. I feel like a good manager will know when one of their reports is working and when they're not. I also take the privilege of working remotely seriously. As I posted earlier, I don't think I would ever want to go into an office again so not abusing the ability to work from home is important to me. (economist.com)
Will the future of AI repeat past injustices (Podcast)? - Interesting podcast talking about how AI is taking advantage of poorer people in countries like Venezuela. (marketplace.org)
I Am Not a Bot (Podcast) - I loved Team Fortress 2 and the bots ruin it. (gimletmedia.com)
The Future of Libraries (Podcast) - I love libraries and it saddens me that publishers are making it hard and expensive to enter and loan digital books. (techdirt.com)
All You Need is Nudge (Podcast) - Having just read Nudge, it was nice to hear more thoughts from Dr. Richard Thayler about the background behind it. (freakonomics.com)
Ordering CSS Declarations - I've always tended to put my CSS declarations in groups based on what they style. This is an interesting take that might make me re-think how I order things. (jim-nielson.com)
