I have a lot of the classics on my list, but a new one that I've found extremely growth spurring was "Ego is the Enemy" by Ryan Holiday. I never really considered myself an egotists; confident perhaps, but something I never struggled with. This book showed me that I indeed did have more ego than necessary and gave me some really good guidance on how to live a better, happier, and more fulfilled life. Really something for a book I didn't even know I needed.

Sorry if anyone is seeing this for the second time today. I deleted the original post due to a problem with the link. Fixed now though.

I just got the same

That looks fun :)

When in the middle of long refactorings, I'm notoriously terrible at going back and removing deprecated code. So, I made a gem that allows me to mark somewhere in the code to self destruct on a particular date. Prior to that date, you will see warnings in your test suite letting you know when and why the self destruct mechanism is there. After the date, it will start throwing exceptions in your test environment to basically self destruct the build. So far, it's been a great incentive/reminder to go back and clean up after myself. permalink

Bah, sorry about that. I copied it out of the chrome extension that I use to promote books on my blog out of habit. My bad. Won't happen again.

Supposedly, The Obstacle is the Way is in the vein. I haven't read it yet; it's on my list this month though. Supposedly a fairly good read though. It's written by a big PR guy though so who knows.

Side note. I use to read a meditation or two every morning as part of my morning routine. I've fallen out of the habit but am going to start again. There's some really great thoughts in here.

This has become my preferred translation. It's a great modern translation and uses very approachable language. To me it reads much more like a journal than the other available translations.

The _really_ hard way. Bad Gateway.

* The Nerdist (comedy, but about half of the episodes have success stories so it kind of falls under entrepreneurship)

* The Tim Ferris Show

* The Ruby Rogues

* Functional Geekery

* The Smart Passive Income Podcast

* The Nathan Barry Show (very new)

* Mostly Erlang

I've recently been reading meditations (and carrying it around in my bag always at the ready). Very good book and I highly recommend writing your own meditations as well.

Great posts. Thanks for sharing them. Will definitely keep all of what you said in mind.

Good stuff. Been in this position a few times and I feel for you. Glad you're in a better place. One piece of advice, if you can take a little time off between gigs, I would do it. Keep spending time doing things you want to do before jumping in with another company. Also, be picky about your next job. Now that you have some experience under your belt, you will have some options.

Yeah, I'm a pretty terrible copywriter. Let me see if I can make it more clear on the site. Thanks for the input.

Thanks!

Definitely want to let them leverage the storage eventually, including contact sheets, psd storage, etc. Starting with just the basics for now to see where it goes.
