In my latest blog post, I dive into some fascinating reads and resources. I explore Charity Majors’ take on debunking the “10x engineer” myth, delve into statistical formulas for programmers, and revisit the importance of logarithms. I also ponder whether copywriting is a lost art, discuss simplifying fulfillment services, and share lessons from a transformative writing teacher. There’s something here for everyone!
