01 About me

In university I picked up some habits that I love: I started with podcasts (the general knowledge kind), and my favourites are The Knowledge Project by Shane Parrish and The Tim Ferriss Show. Eventually, I started reading lots of non-fiction books. Here are some of my favourite books, by genre:

Computer Science

  • Microservices Patterns - Chris Richardson
  • Designing Data Intensive Applications - Martin Kleppmann
  • Thinking in distributed systems - Dominik Tornow

Psychology

  • Why We Love - Anna Machin
  • The Status Game - Will Storr

Philosophy

  • The story of philosophy - Will Durant
  • How to live - Sarah Bakewell

History

  • Our Oriental Heritage (book 1/11 of The Story of Civilization) - Will Durant

You may find my full library here

Here are my other hobbies not yet implied

  • Fingerstyle Guitar (like Tommy Emmanuel)
  • Bingewatching (and snacking)
  • Taking walks (like an elderly)
  • Singing in the shower (like I'm trying to annoy my neighbors)
