According to my daughter I'm "in love with books".
I read a lot of Nonfiction books related to Cyber Security, Organizational Development, and Software Development in general. I'm interested in the human side of technology.

@realn2s Do you have any recommendations relating to #NoProjects? Your post introduced me to the term and it sounds interesting!
Security is not a "climb to the top of the mountain" activity, where once you've reached the peak, you're done! No, security is a "steer the ship through the rocks to keep the boat from rubbing around*activity. There is almost never a "set it and forget it"task or technology in security.

So true. #Cybersecurity and project based thinking don't work well together. It's related to #NoProjects
I started reading #ReinvetingCybersecurity
Reinventing Cybersecurity is a structured collection of essays with focus on diversity and inclusion in #Cybersecurity. A very important topic.
I was previously writing about it at @realn2s@infosec.exchange here infosec.exchange/@realn2s/111271912705886128

Chip War is a compelling read, recounting the history of integrated circuits or computing in general. It touches many of the foundational personalities, companies and their connections around the world.
While there might be nothing "new" in the book which you couldn't find in other article, Chris Miller manages to concise and compelling story from the history. It was a page turner.
I started reading some weeks ago. Sadly I got turned off pretty quickly. Johann Hari uses his observation of the behavior of his godson. He might use this only as the peg for his story and might add more (scientific) evidence later, but I really have problems reading "self help" books base on anecdotes.
No other technology moved so quickly - so there was no other sector in which stealing last year's designs was such a hopeless strategy.
— Chip War by Chris Miller (Page 43)
The quote is in the context of the Russian industry copying US chip design. It illustrates that, if you innovate fast enough protecting your intellectual property is not strictly necessary.
Chris argues that a lot of the innovation was in the manufacturing of the chips which is not easily copy-able.
More later argued that Noyce's price cuts were as big an innovation as the technology inside Fairchild's integrated circuits.

Reminded me of the book "Beyond Software Architecture" which talks about often overlooked aspects of system architecture like market placement and pricing
I read this book quite some time ago (and plan to reread it). Nevertheless it stayed with me as it uniquely included aspects like marketing, pricing and market access in topics which are relevant for a successful the Software Architecture.
