I just finished Beyond Cynical and I'm not sure why this isn't a bigger book. It's a great explanation of why we have negativity bias, and seeing it around us, and working against it to be happier. I also just finished Witch King (I love Murderbot and this is her other major series) and I liked it but it lacked the humor of Murderbot.

In lazy comfort food rereading I read Thief of Time (Terry Pratchett) for the first time in years, and it was great, and I'm rereading Scruples and Scruples 2. (70s/80s wealth porn, think Crazy Rich Asians but more episodic and fantasy fulfillment. The book equivalent of a bubble bath in a sunlit bathroom.)

Did you see the study that said that devs using AI thought they were 20% faster but they were actually 20% slower? Cal Newport discussed it on his podcast.

Personally I love the help troubleshooting but the code I generate myself.
