What I’m reading this week 📚
Just shared some interesting finds:
YC GP Roundtables on the Future of Coding 🧠

In the age of “code on tap,” the distinguishing factor for developers will increasingly be their “taste”—the nuanced judgment and experience that guide effective problem-solving and design (and at the other end, low level systems expertise to build those AIs).
TypeScript Native Port ⚡
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/typescript-native-port/
Yes please. In my experience, builds are an area where speedups always have devex ROI. It’s all about keeping developers in the flow.
Mental Models Overview 🧩
https://fs.blog/mental-models/
I’m a fan of mental models; they serve as frameworks that help our brains process complexity in daily life. Shane Parrish’s article on Farnam Street provides an insightful overview of the most powerful models. For instance, the reciprocity model highlights the benefits of positive actions prompting positive responses. Highly recommend this article and his excellent Farnam Street blog.
Visual Readability Patterns 👁️

Found a good visual compilation of patterns to avoid for readable code. I found myself nodding along for several of these as Mark Griffin lays them out in great detail.
Garry Tan on Intelligence vs. Agency 🔥

With intelligence now readily accessible, personal agency has become even more crucial. I couldn’t agree more; grit and self-volition are key markers of individuals who drive meaningful progress and innovation.
