Well, this feels bizarre, I'd just started planning out a series of blog posts with that exact title when this pops up on HN's front page.

Guess I'll go back to consuming rather than creating for now as I dive right into this book over the weekend. Maybe I'll write a review of this instead.

Please submit it if you do!

Also, in case it's relevant: rather than covering a list of topics in one go, it's better to focus on one topic at time, starting with the most interesting, and go deep rather than broad. Lists, unfortunately, don't lead to interesting online discussions since attention is diluted across a bunch of disparate things. That's probably why the current submission, despite the general theme being fascinating, didn't do better.
