The best two books for engineers are

1) “How to win friends and influence people”

2) “Never split the difference”

The first one will teach you how to work with people. The second will teach you how to negotiate salaries, raises, and promotions among other things.

I don’t recommend many technical books because engineers can find all of that on the internet and are much more at risk of being bad at people stuff.

Not to mention, he was also living in expensive areas. It’s amazing he saved and invested that much.

Man, we’ve built an internet where you literally can’t trust anything.

I ignored it for years and things are still great.

Still running with simple Bootstrap themes, jQuery and mostly server side rendering and have thousands of users on my side project and lots of paying ones too.

Confident I could scale this to hundreds of thousands of users with no issue.
