@hubermanlab @readswithravi Andrew, you're the second person in almost 15 years who mentioned/read that book. I don't feel lonely anymore. 😀

@readswithravi @poorbjorn It's indeed a good book. I gave a talk on systems thinking at a conference after I read about the green revolution in this book. Basically, the chapter gave me the idea and I expanded that.

As Mark Manson said, learning more is a smart person’s favorite form of procrastination. I try to read books from different genres that help with this case. Mostly to satisfy my curiosity. I am currently reading How Innovation Works by Matt Ridley (picking after enjoying his previous book The Rational Optimist), stories about these innovations different fields and how it correlates are very fascinating.
If I am not enjoying the book after couple of chapters, I just leave it alone. Maybe give a revisit later if I think it is worth it. There are many good books to read out there.

Be honest, when is picking up a new book to read actually just waste of time?
For me:
- When I rationalize that I need to do more research, when what I actually need to do is to take more action.
- When I read yet another book on a subject I already know well enough ( like reading yet another book about stoicism when I actually would be better of practicing the philosophy..)
- And like now, I really need to finish editing my video review…instead I picked up a book..
Do you have any other examples?

A lot of people working in tech need to pay attention to this "It's just a job" part.

@ProfFeynman Even if you don’t know whether the universe is bigger than your view of it, being humble and teachable costs you nothing.

Be humble. Be teachable. The universe is bigger than your view of the universe. There's always room for a new idea.

@G_S_Bhogal "Spot on!"

People sound like chatbots not just because they’re using chatbots, but also because they’re subconsciously adopting the linguistic mannerisms of chatbots. We're now witnessing humans being trained on LLMs, becoming ever more average & predictable. The autocompletion of the soul.

RIP @ScottAdamsSays - one of the most original, insightful, and fearless thinkers who ever lived. 😞🙏

Even though I don't have either generational wealth or a startup, this story and the subsequent breakdown by @ankurnagpal are so convincing that I saved this post.

Not 'just' useful concepts, but also a lesson in critical thinking. At last something worth reposting.

A thread of useful concepts to equip you for 2026:

@techgirl1908 Love this. Every creative field has been automated in some way, yet people still read, write, cook, sing, and run for the love of it.
Tools do not remove joy. Losing meaning does. If coding still feels like exploring and challenging, the joy remains.
English
eh, I have so many new technical challenges to solve and there's no established playbook for any of them. having an absolute blast!
montano@lucas_montano
the joy of coding is gone think about it for a second, if we actually go down this road of vibe coding we will absolutely kill the joy of coding i have worked in projects that the only thing driving me was the technical challenges vibe coding will force you to understand that the code was just the means to the end and that only developers care about it but in a possible future this care will be replaced by a sad feeling of not having the time, the priority of enjoying solving a technical challenge by yourself

The most successful people I know aren't the busiest. They're the most protected. They have an almost ruthless ability to say "no" to things that don't align with their true goals. You don't need a better to-do list. You need a better "what-not-to-do" list.

The detailed AWS incident report is out, and it’s worth a read
- DNS records managed by 2 systems; a race condition led to regional record getting unset
- EC2 lease establishment was borked as it depends on DynamoDB
- fluctuating NLB health checks leading to EC2 DNS entry purges

I hope everyone pays attention to this: "A society can survive without truth, but not without trust."
Gurwinder@G_S_Bhogal
The real danger of AI-generated illusions flooding the world is not that people will come to believe falsehoods—most of what we believe is already false—it’s that we’ll cease to believe anything at all. A society can survive without truth, but not without trust.
