📚 Finished reading: A Subversive’s Guide to Improvisation by David Razowsky. It took me about a month. I found the biography section pretentious and long winded, but found the improv philosophy and practices inspiring.

📚 Finished reading: Responsible JavaScript by Jeremy Wagner. Good quick read on performance and minimizing JS, and I learned a few things. Felt good to know a lot of it and/or agree on the philosophy already.
