Most of what I read has nothing to do with code. When I pick up a book it is usually about biographies, psychology, decision-making, sports, or the history of how technology got built — the early days of computing, the people behind it, the way organizations and cultures form. The kind of insight that only comes from someone who actually lived it. When I do read something technical it tends to be on the softer side: leadership, influence, how teams think and make decisions.
My strictly technical reading lives on O’Reilly. This shelf is everything else — the books that have quietly shaped how I reason, manage, and make decisions.
