Review of 'Observability Engineering' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This is a truly excellent book, which could become a must-have.
It doesn't get a 5/5 because of the guest author chapters, which were of a really lower quality.

dmathieu reviewed L'Âge des low tech by Philippe Bihouix
Review of "L'Âge des low tech" on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Ce livre avait un potentiel assez grand, et la vision de l'auteur est assez juste.
Malheureusement, la lecture en elle-même est assez décevante. On y ressens un manque de rigueur. Beaucoup d'informations données sont au ressenti au lieu d'être basées sur des faits.
Au final, l'auteur rêve beaucoup, mais ses propositions tiennent moyennement la route.

Review of 'Business for punks' on 'Goodreads'

I could stop at the fact that they think Break Point is a bad movie ...
But that would mean the rest of the book is good, when it isn't.
It's full of self-congratulations, and treating everyone who isn't BrewDog as clowns.
There's also a lot of contradictions across the book. For example, don't build a business model. However, you should build a "cash-flow model" which look very much like the same thing.
Finally, the tone is so wrong. This could be a new version of the bro code.
It's even disrespectful in some areas. For example, you hired a dwarf to protect for you (he even got arrested). The least thing to do would be to name that person, not to mention him as "the dwarf".
