- Thanks for sharing @Maja Nenadov Webster!
- I've curated my suggestions here: https://bit.ly/39HwwBg but I'd also add to it "Anything you want" by Derek Sivers!
- Great suggestions @Strategic Vision Coordinator, thanks! SICP and The Pragmatic Programmer have been on my list for a while, and presumably they have been read by/are on the list of many others. I’m currently (read: finally) making my way through A Philosophy of Software Design by John Ousterhout that you gave me! Really loving it so far.

- These both look super interesting, thanks for the recommendations @Matthew Knight!Company of One in particular stands out. There is a real hunger for this sort of approach to business in pretty much every software dev community I’ve come across, given the increasingly low barrier to entry to creating SaaS-style products.
- Two books I'd select as pivotal for me and my career:Company of One by Paul Jarvis - why 'growth' doesn't have to mean big.Lost Connections by Johann Hari - why designing how you work is as important as the work you do.
