I just started reading Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It by Chris Voss.📚
I hate weekends where you have zero energy to work on your projects or do anything useful at all :-( Spent the morning at the swimming pool with my daugther – at least I had the power for this – but now nothing works anymore. I’m just feeling a bit duped out of my weekend.
Review of La Belle Sauvage: The Book of Dust Volume One
I did not realize that there is a prequel to His dark materials but after I found out I needed to read La Belle Sauvage: The Book of Dust Volume One by Philip Pullman📚at once.

When the elevator is so unreliable that you need a big sign telling you wether its active or shut down 😎😂.
I just started reading A Wrinkle in Time (A Wrinkle in Time Quintet Book 1) by Madeleine L’Engle.📚

Review of Homeland
After reading Walkaway, I realized that there is a sequel to Little brother. So I naturally read Homeland by Cory Doctorow📚 as my next book. The book was a rollercoaster for my emotions, but I still liked it.
Just used this article to fix some layout issues in an app this week.
Solving Auto Layout issues is always a hassle; we run our application expecting all our constraints work correctly to find a massive block of Auto Layout error logs on the console.

Review of Walkaway
To the first days of a better nation – or not, I just finished reading Walkaway: A Novel by Cory Doctorow 📚.

Pl@ntNet (pronounced plant-net) is the only social app that always makes me happier. Likened to Shazam for plants, it was developed a decade ago by a consortium of computer science and botanical research institutions in France. In almost every way, Pl@ntNet is unlike other social networks.

Dark Forest of the Internet is an exciting idea on the further development of the internet. However, it is also in opposition to the IndieWeb, as what you write on your blog is public. On the other side, I notice the trend that status updates inside a family are done more and more inside private channels, so I think this theory has its merits.
Moreover, this is the second time this week that I stumble over the name Liu Cixin. It looks like I need to put The Three Body Problem onto my reading list.

Review of Pitch Anything
I just finished reading Pitch Anything: An Innovative Method for Presenting, Persuading, and Winning the Deal by Oren Klaff.📚
