What to Read

If you’re choosing software, I wrote a somewhat irreverent guide on how to do that. Even software engineers will find it useful.

If you’re a developer, I wrote a career course. If you’re early in your career, it’ll add a million dollars to your lifetime earnings  by giving you a clear, upward path. Supposedly knowing a little about negotiation adds a million bucks (compound interest, etc.), and this goes way beyond that. Many (most?) senior devs don’t know this stuff.

If you are considering going to college, or have a kid, I wrote how you’re probably going to waste $200K on your education. But also, how not to waste that money.

If you’re curious about how America will radically change over the next 5-10 years, I wrote about the rise of the robot chauffeurs. Or as most call them, autonomous vehicles. I spent weeks researching it, and can’t tell you how many times my mind was blown.

I also give talks on careers and programmer productivity, if you need a speaker for your conference. Reviews have all been positive.

While I’m changing how you see the world, here are three documentaries that have done that for me:

• Bigger, Stronger, Faster*
• The Fog of War
• Inside Job
