I don't know how I make the time, to be honest. It doesn't feel like I take special time to read. I just read constantly: in the morning when I sit down in front of computer, in the bathroom, when waiting for an agent to finish, when waiting for a meeting to start, in the evenings.
In this last Joy & Curiosity issue there weren't even that many links to things I read in there. Maybe 10? The rest was stuff I had read years before and re-read/remembered this week. Or a paper that I skimmed. Or software on Github. And 10 links in a week? Average reading time per link, say, 10 minutes? 100min per week, that's ~15min per day.
This weekly newsletter casually shares interesting discoveries of the week, focusing on the trial experience of the new version control system JJ. It compares with Git, pointing out its advantages such as commit splitting and log viewing, as well as the inconvenience of some operations. It also intersperses content like note-taking tools, AI industry views and programming insights, with a casual and lively style full of sharing fun for tech enthusiasts.<a href="https://3-veo.com" rel="dofollow ugc">Veo 3</a>
“The obvious answer, of course, is that you might have no choice: that given what’s coming, anyone who wants to keep food on the table must give up their dreams of aliveness, and buckle down to placating the machines instead. I have two things to say about that, the first of which is that I don’t believe it: that aliveness is so central to meaningful human experience that there’ll always be a market for those who can cultivate it, embed it in what they create, foster it in institutions and organisations, and bring people together to experience it.”
Much thanks for sharing this. So beautiful!

Thanks very much for this - weekly! I keep wondering how you make all the time to read all these coupled with all the work you do at Amp.
Wanted to comment about the Claude 4 prompt engineering guide link missing the domain name (https://docs.anthropic.com/)
No kids!? :D
Lets be honest, a bit less of social apps and we could all be finishing many books per year.. (ok thats about me tbh)
I do have kids!

> I just read constantly
That's probably it tbh. I have the issue sometimes where I wait for a "good time" to read stuff. Bad policy.
