I love programming books! But it’s less so for coding, and more for: * philosophy (The Pragmatic Engineer) * specialty (cryptography book, database internals book, etc…)

not really tbh. best to just code a bunch of smaller projects. I've found that even copying code line by line on an editor and going through the process of compiling and debugging is way more helpful than reading *in most cases*. youtube tutorials also help a ton. leet code is good practice as well.

I mastered python with the O'Riley book. I don't think I'd normally be able to do it but: 1. I had already done an online course in python (lpthw) 2. I was on a boat on vacation and I'm bad at vacation 3. I couldn't afford to hire a real engineer so my company would have failed if I didn't learn it haha'

I started an online Python course on Coursera but it was originally for University of Michigan students, and it was obvious that the instructor was trying to *be liked* IRL, which made everything longer and more tedious I'd love a course that just taught the basics without any fluff

Tutorials, YouTube videos, and just fucking hack some shit. I’ve tried books, and man… I’m like okay but when will I ever use this.

Unrelated, but after 13 years of parenting I still have to pick up a parenting book, or consistently follow any parenting blog or whatever.

I do read a lot of programming books. Prefer them over videos. Depends a lot on topic though. For some things it’s best to just start building stuff.

I'm learning coding rn and find AI chatbots 10x more valuable than books. I do, however, find books helplful for understanding fundamental concepts and language that I can use to better prompt the AI. Here are two I've found helpful

By the time they’re published, they’re out-dated. That’s a good thing imo.
