Today's thread on the Debugging book made me realize there are likely great books related to software development that I've never even heard of, never mind read.

Lesser-known science fiction movies (exotext.com)
I love science fiction in all forms, and I can't resist watching almost any sci-fi movie. So, I watch a lot of them. It's a bit annoying how "sci-fi and fantasy" became the standard pairing. In my eyes, these genres are exactly opposite. It's like grouping movies about horses with movies about cars.

Tools Worth Changing to in 2025 (matthewsanabria.dev)
It’s almost 2025 in my part of the world and that means another year has gone by. Another year of love. Another year of joy. 2024 was a great year for me and my family overall. There were highs- we opened a physical location for my wife’s chocolate business, Lily & Sparrow, and I joined the team at Oxide Computer Company. There were lows- one of our dogs passed away and we adopted another shortly after.

It's that time of my life where I need to find a good work laptop. With the prices that laptops go for I'd rather not impulse buy and (maybe) regret my decision.
