The engineering books I am working through. What each one is, where I am with it, and (soon) what I make of it.
These are the same three books byhand is built around, one volume each. Reading them straight through never stuck; turning every chapter into something I have to build is the version that does.
The classic on readable, changeable code. Currently reading.
Design patterns taught brains-on, with pictures. Currently reading.
The deep dive on real distributed systems. Saved for the right stretch.
