[Book Review] 3 of 5 stars to The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter by Michael J. Sullivan www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Sebastian Gebski's review of The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter (The Riyria Chronicles, #4)

3/5: I find "The Disappearance" slight devoid of Ryiria's charm. MJS tried to packed it up with everything necessary (adventure, humor, twist in the story, moral dilemmas, mystic secrets and political...

I've read The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Sebastian Gebski's review of The Great Gatsby

It's surprisingly pleasant to read, keeping in mind how old it is. One can clearly see that FSF was a very talented writer who crafted words very skillfully - the story is very smooth, feels natural, ...

Sebastian Gebski's review of Yield

5/5: This is a great book, but only for AdTech insiders who do already know a lot how this specific industry works. In theory, everything is explained step-by-step BUT explanations are very rushed, th...

⚙️ co poza kodem? runbooki, observability, kontrakt testy/mocki, dokumentacja/instrukcja?

Co sprawdza się u Was (a co nie)? Gdzie książkowa teoria rozmija się z praktyką? Co kopiujecie z dobrych praktyk, a gdzie dostosowujecie pod swoje potrzeby?

Trzy tygodnie temu rozmawialiśmy przede wszystkim o fazach koncepcyjnych, współpracy z Biznesem/Produktem na wczesnym etapach oraz różnych aspektach planowania.

Tym razem przejdziemy do części wytwórczej (i utrzymaniowej - jeśli czas pozwoli ...)

Sebastian Gebski's review of Focus

4/5: The only book on ASML I've managed to find - isn't it a recommendation already? This European company has achieved an unprecedented success - yet, very few people know how they did it. They are n...

[Book Review] 3 of 5 stars to When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows... by Steven Pinker www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Sebastian Gebski's review of When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows...

3/5: It's much more scientific than e.g., "Better angels", but the topic is ... rather dull and unattractive. I mean - I'd love to read a blog post or an article about that, but a whole book? The conc...

Sebastian Gebski's review of The Secret of Secrets (Robert Langdon, #6)

2/5: Brown is trying hard, but it just doesn't work out ;/ Unfortunately, it seems he has now permanently moved from stories about deciphering ancient codes and mysteries into s-f-ish mixtures of con...

[Book Review] 3 of 5 stars to Breakneck: China's Quest to Engineer the Future by Dan Wang www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Sebastian Gebski's review of Breakneck

3/5: There's very little new in this book, maybe except a nicely formulating general thesis: "China is a country of engineers, US is a country of lawyers" - which gets repeated like mantra. If you exp...

[Book Review] 4 of 5 stars to Hannibal’s War: A Military History of the Second Punic War by John Lazenby www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Sebastian Gebski's review of Hannibal’s War

4/5: I enjoyed it a lot, but it's not without flaws: + perfectly scoped (2nd punic wars was what I was looking for, but it provided the important historical context of both 1st and 3rd war as well) + ...

[Book Review] 4 of 5 stars to How the World Really Works: A Scientist's Guide to Our Past, Present and Future by Vaclav Smil www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Sebastian Gebski's review of How the World Really Works

4/5: Smil doesn't disappoint. A lot of data, as objective as it could (have been), interesting food for thought that leaves you wanting for more. Smil debunks some myths, but ... he's a far better sci...

[Book Review] 3 of 5 stars to The Death of Dulgath by Michael J. Sullivan www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Sebastian Gebski's review of The Death of Dulgath (The Riyria Chronicles, #3)

3/5: It starts in a very deceptive way - things are too simple, too obvious, too predictable. Fortunately, it gets better in time - much better. There's more depth in added "layers", some are not who ...
