Michael Lynch (@mtlynch.io) has compiled here a wonderful list of essays about software that influenced him. The ones I’ve read (and I’ve read a few before) have all been very good.

embarrassed to discover vim's `textwidth` option so late. i have been literally reformatting lines manually (though it gives me something to do while thinking :P) so far.
now it's just: `gqip` !!

Rubber Duck Problem Solving AtΒ Stack Exchange,Β we insist that people who ask questionsΒ put some effort into their question, and we’re kind of strict about it. That is, when you set out to ask a question, you should… * Describe...

When I first joined stackoverflow i was overwhelmed by all their rules, but eventually I realised it makes so much sense. I was rubber ducking the problem everytime I wrote a question. I would come up with a solution before clicking the Post button!
SO gets a lot of hate but it got forums right

firefox now has a sidebar which is awesome
but expand on hover animation is super slow so i'd rather keep it always visible for now till i figure it out

i have no idea why it has AI, but now that it does, i want to see where they plan to take this or if it's just following the trend

you can most likely add some GitHub MCP that does it.
or mention in its rules to use gh cli.

If you’re someone who still reads for pleasure, you are a marvel. If you’re able to unplug from all the chaos of our entertainment culture and disappear into the warmth and solace of a book, that is a rare gift and I’m very glad to know you.
