  Evan Prodromou has the unenviable task of making the whole ecosystem easy to understand. Thankfully he does that well. Things are logically laid out, there are comprehensive descriptions of even the most obscure parts of the spec, and it builds up nicely from the fundamentals.

  So Good They Can't Ignore You

  Their words

  A nicely written case against the ‘follow your passion’ advice with a well-defined career-building strategy. As many non-fiction sel-help books, could be at least 10 times shorter, but hey, it’s pretty good.

  HUANUO Dual Monitor Stand

  Their words

  I prefer using monitor arms over the default stand that most monitors come with, and at the end of 2022 I switched to the HUANUO Dual Monitor Stand. It's a single mount with two monitor arms, and it holds the monitors in place nicely. Each arm is flexible in where I can position them.

  Human preference is not an equation you can package by asking which of two answers people prefer; it is personal, cultural, geographic and generational.

  Their words

  I don't think that human preference is just an equation that people can just like package nicely and like, "Hey, ask people like which which of these two answers people would prefer?" It's very very personal, very culturally dependent, geographically dependent, age dependent.
