“Every chapter you read compounds like interest on your future skills.”

My code works. I have no idea why. Time to write a book about it.

Turn “I hope this works” into “I know why this works.”

Turn scattered tutorials into a clear GPU programming & performance roadmap.

What you’ll quietly gain

  • Turn intimidating wgsl theory into hands-on, bookmark-worthy practice.
  • Highlightable checklists that keep your GPU programming & performance projects moving even on tired days.
  • Concrete examples that make webgpu feel like a habit, not a hurdle.
  • Tiny mindset shifts that turn bugs into fast feedback instead of frustration.

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.

Reading psychology

“Reading is the quiet shortcut everyone notices only after you ship better work.”

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

I bought a “clean code” book. My coffee now has better architecture than my app.

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