Eugenia Cheng: x + y (Hardcover, 2020, Basic Books) 3 stars

Review of 'x + y' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Some great ideas and a valuable perspective, but it fails on me not grasping the category.

I wonder what audience it targets. For me who is already a feminist it did not add anything new. And the maths part could have been evolved more.

With that said I really liked it, as it was kind of unique. I hope she writes a second edition with more category theory and math.

Review of 'Fate' on 'Goodreads'

I love how this system catches the players will to be a X. And simply stating that is part of the character definition. Yes getting a charged View of what X is and how it enables and hinders person is still needed. But also part of the play. Simply I am an "elf Hunter, forged in the great war between dragons and demons" I shouldn't miss that target with my bow. And get the bonus. Simple creates world building and characters Stories become the core of the tale.

Martina Lauchengco: Loved (2022, Wiley & Sons, Incorporated, John) 3 stars

Review of 'Loved' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

This book was a good read that offers a fresh perspective on marketing in relations to product management, UX design, and the philosophy of creating. Lauchengco explains the fundamentals of product marketing and how to adapt product marketing to more agile processes. The book was very informative and gave me a better understanding of the role of product marketing. I recommend this book to someone interested in learning more about product marketing and grasp the basic concepts. But I also think the book gives a limited view on the PM role, and that role has been better explained in other books.

Happy reading! :)
