Taste
What I'm watching, listening to, reading, and noticing. Updated when something replaces something. The list is short on purpose.
Promises
Best ambient album of the decade. Writing music; thinking music.
All Melody
I have written more words to this album than any other.
Avalanches — Since I Left You
Sample-based maximalism that aged perfectly. Joy as engineering.
Severance
A show about software people written by someone who knows software people.
The Bear
Operations as character study. Required viewing for founders.
Slow Horses
Office politics + spycraft. The best 'work' show on TV.
Working in Public
The book I most often hand to founders. Maintenance > novelty.
The Mom Test
Customer interviews without the lying. Re-read every six months.
Working
What every job sounds like from the inside. Read once a year, slowly.
Construction Physics
Logistics, energy, and infrastructure history as engineering analog.
Bits about Money
Technical writing about boring systems is the highest form.
