Think of this chart as a gentle nudge, not homework. If you’ve been living in one topic, a single chapter from a different slice of the graph can give you fresh ideas for old problems.

  • Blend one analytics chapter with one GPU or performance chapter for better instincts.
  • Alternate between “safe” and “stretch” books to keep motivation high.
  • When in doubt, open the book of the day and read just three pages.

Live book & tech headlines

We pull in fresh headlines from trusted book and literature feeds so your reading choices stay aligned with what curious people are talking about today.

Reading psychology

“A focused hour with a good book easily beats a distracted week of tutorials.”

Pair that idea with the book of the day, a quiet beverage, and a 25-minute timer. Tiny rituals make reading automatic.

Dev-life humour

If at first you don’t succeed, read the chapter you skipped.

The bugs will still be there later. The clarity you get from a single focused chapter might mean you squash them faster.
