@adrianhon@mastodon.social Soul of a New Machine got me to go to college for EE. (I did, however, end up switching to CS, but the journey started with him.)

@adrianhon@mastodon.social Yeah. "Soul" was the first book I ever read that really communicated what it was like to work in a tech start-up. I reread it last year, and it's still just amazing writing.

@adrianhon@mastodon.social Mountains Beyond Mountains was a terrific read, and my favorite sort of book. I didn’t know much about TB before I read it, and I knew nothing about Paul Farmer. #rip

@adrianhon@mastodon.social I got a lot from SoaNM. Sent my physical copy to my old DEC mentor.

@adrianhon@mastodon.social There's a wonderful quote from SoaNM that sums up the frustration of working with smaller units of time: "no unit of time shorter than a season" I quoted most of it here in March 2025: https://mastodon.ie/@dec23k/114174646972936925
