Me gustan los tres libros de Esmeralda sobre su vida. Estoy usandolos para practicar escuchar espanol. Cuando ella esta diciendo lo que dijo su mama, ella suena exactamente como mi suegra de PR. Que bueno!

Con eso alcanzará un nivel avanzado

I am reading this to make sure i'm not missing anything. I'm not. This is all common sense.

Summary:
1. Maximize the gap by making more and spending less (duh)

2. Invest the gap (duh)

3. Eventually your money will be making more money than you, and you'll be free from your boss (duh)

General Grant had a unique combo of grand strategic vision while also being able to execute on the ground.

This is great. You can see the Fragile vs Antifragile vs Robustness in everything.

I instantly thought of error handling in code.

Fragile: suppressing exceptions and letting your program limp

Antifragile: letting exceptions crash the program. Dead programs don't hurt anyone, and this is the quickest way to find bugs before they really cause trouble.

Very interesting. Reminds me of the movie Whiplash, where the guy sacrifices everything to achieve greatness.... and then goes nuts.

I'm only part way through, but so far this is quite a poor summary of the Capital book. I've already read the Capital book, and was just reading this so i could have a small reference book. This book is probably not meant to be used as a ref book afterwards.

I like it.

One part annoyed me though. When talking about the Battle of Cannae, it pretty much says that having good generals don't matter much, because encirclement strategies are common sense. Are you kidding me? That is just a very shallow understanding of military strategy and history.

The rest is good.

I'm only on chapter 2, but so far this reminds me of C# In Depth, and similarly i believe this will take my Python skills to the next level

Good story and characters. I am listening to this on Audible and the dude doing the reading is awesome.

The dialogue is literal translations of Spanish, which is really amusing if you know Spanish. Like: "What is passing with you?" (Que te pasa) - instead of what it really means "What's wrong?". This is weird, but funny

Really good so far. The only part i didn't like is that in the refactoring section it's using too many examples of ASP.NET MVC, which i've never used, so don't have a good context of what problem the refactoring is trying to solve.

First part about Cicero vs Catiline was good and interesting. The next part about Romulus, Remus, and the founding myth was too analytical - so i skimmed. Hopefully the rest is more narrative than analytical, or i won't finish
