I originally thought this was just going to be gimicky humor, but it's really humanizing the Star Wars universe for me.

A look at SQL and No-SQL tools in Python

First attempt in fails

It's go time!

So excited to see where this goes. It's been very different from what I expected

Collecting some great recipes

Slow pace for last book, but I enjoy it.

Done with JS and Python comparisons

I like how Leckie has us spend time in the quiet moments. It's one of my favorite things about the series.

At least JS and Python aren't TOO different.

Young Anaander

Only bad thing is that I think JS has changed a lot in the past 6 years

Slightly clearer understanding of where the book is headed

Extremely well-written intro. Very excited to use this, hopefully by the end of this month.

Wow, I feel like things are coming to a head and we're only 1/3 of the way through the story!

Seriously, I think Managers instead of reading some drek by the old guy who ran GE, should read this trilogy and study Breq's handling of disagreements and leadership style

I can't remember if the previous Presger translator was this much fun, but I'm loving this comic relief.

Political machinations pick up again. Given how much it starts right after book 2, I should have read them closer together.

I'd forgotten the Susan parts. Very funny

can't wait to try out goroutines in Advent of Code

Apparently the wild card virus has something to do with culture and psychology. At least it seems to make jokers and aces that match the culture of the infected

Interfaces were a very interesting concept. Now onto error handling

Shifting back into the way this book is written. Always requires rethinking narrative voice because of the way Ship allows us to know many POVs at once.

Learning about Go-style encapsulation

Very interesting in that the UN people are lies a part of the story

Defining types and writing methods

RF Kuang playing with tropes of destiny. I can't wait to see the consequences. Just a another chapter or so left.

"Yo dawg, I heard you like structs, so I put a struct in your struct so you can have nested data types in your nested data types" ...

Is a pretty good summary of the second half of the structs chapter. But at least now I should be in good shape for Advent of Code 2016 Day 04 in Golang.

A plan; A realization of reality.

Learning about structs. Kinda/sorta like classes in other languages.
