My goal for the new year is to read (at least) one page of a book every day (thanks @davidpierce.xyz ). I’m starting with a beautiful textbook on compilers: Essentials of Compilation, An incremental approach in Python, by Jeremy G. Siek. Love it so far!

Howdy new followers! Inspired by @bcantrill.bsky.social’s phrase, I’m starting a sporadic series called “Among My Books”, where I share books that changed my life.
