Hi Bob! Congratulations on shipping the book!

This book has been a life saver during the pandemic, not only the world situation but I personally was a bit disappointed with my career. I was inspired by one of your posts where you mention that you were writing every single day for four years. I decided to use the same approach and I started reading the book and coding a bit every single day. I was able to finish it completely and I wrote two implementations of Lox. I just ordered a paper copy, from the PDF sample it seems it looks gorgeous!

Thank you very much for such a great contribution to the world!

Yes! It is the dumbest, weirdest life hack, but it seems to work for perfectionists like us.

I wonder if anyone wrote a book about this!

If you're curious there's a subreddit for a technique like this for building/breaking habits https://www.reddit.com/r/thexeffect
