Welcome to Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

Reading software engineering articles is like being a Seed start-up investor.

• You have to skip through 100 titles to find an interesting one;

• Your decision to invest time reading an article will be entirely based on its title, author, and pictures;

On the 100 articles you’ll end up reading:

• 80 will be utterly useless (-100% Return on Investment)

• 8 will be worth 1-5x your time (100%-500% ROI)

• 🦄 2 will change you forever (5000% ROI)

If you do your job and are a little lucky, you will have a positive ROI. But you’ll have to take risks, and consistently invest time into reading.
