2024 Annual Reading Summary

I read quite a few books in 2024. Here are some highlights. ## "Clean Code" by Robert C. Martin A classic that made me reconsider my coding habits, especially regarding function naming, code organization, and error handling. ## "Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective" A thick but worthy read. From processor architecture to memory management to concurrent programming, it helped me build a more complete understanding. ## "The Mythical Man-Month" An old book with insights still applicable today. The "No Silver Bullet" concept remains true in software development. ## "Atomic Habits" Not a tech book, but it had a big impact. It taught me how small habit changes can lead to big goals. ## Plans for 2025 Planning to read more about system design and distributed systems, plus some non-technical books to broaden my horizons.
