Capital One | NYC, New York, NY | Onsite | Full-time

I'm looking for software engineers, designers, and product owners who want to join a brand new team at Capital One Labs to change the way this large company creates customer-facing retail bank features. We are going to change banking from the inside for good. If you'd like to join me, please contact me at [email protected]

Agreed. I hope that this involves empowering team leads to find best practices that work for their engineers.

Awesome. I've been inspired by Austin Kleon's Show Your Work! to find more ways to share our creative output and process with a wider community

I discover books through three sources:

1) New releases from publishers/editors/authors I like. If you like 3 books from one publisher, you're probably more likely to like another book from that publisher despite its topic. Same for editors. And, for authors although author releases are less frequent than editors which are less frequent than publishers.

2) Colleagues and friends. Word of mouth still seems to be the number one way people discover books. Ask your friends what they are currently reading. Hop over to GoodReads.com and see if you can find a network that reads genres similar to what you like.

3) Blogs/forums. We like to talk about what we're reading since that makes an otherwise rather solo activity more social. Search the personal/academic/company blogs for topics you like.

Finally, why not create a hacker news thread called "What are you currently reading?" :)
