3 Golden Nuggets a day - on History, Patternists and Reliable Code
This is me doing my homework on lawn alternatives around the neighborhood. Lawn dominate most United Kingdom living areas, but there are enough people implementing alternatives like this nice rock flower garden.

Reading Lists
There are books that I reread regularly, but at the moment I read new books in trying to identify the best books to reread while trying to push my learning boundaries. So far I got to organise my future reading in 6 lists, main readings for each time of the day:
- morning: classics (my definition of classics, must say)
- lunch break: how to's (programming or managerial mostly)
- evening: biographies
and 3 lists of books that look interesting but haven't got enough information for them:
For people who just wanted to know how to choose what to read by Tai Lopez' talked of principles.
Do you have a book or resource that would like to see what nuggets I can get out from for you ?
