Really great book! The things that stood out for me:

- Optimize for learning

- Invest in time-saving tools

- Shorten the debugging loop

- Don’t sprint in the middle of a marathon

- Recovery over prevention

- Automate mechanics, not decision making

- Make batch processes idempotent

We read it in the book club at work a year ago, and I wrote a longer review of it here: https://henrikwarne.com/2017/01/15/book-review-the-effective...
