For reasons that will I’m sure one day be funny to me, I’m looking for new programming work. I made financial commitments based on a project that has taken a sharp left turn. Was getting great feedback on my work, not perf related.

I've been thinking about the shooter's Goodreads a lot. Almost exclusively, these are books that don't actually teach you anything, but rather are more like a kind of bizarre cosmetic surgery that makes your brain look smart to you when you look at it the mirror. Intelligence dysmorphia disorder.
