It took a long time to read because it’s so dense and a little abstract the whole way through. Some noir plots in the beginning with an action movie ending, which is all well and good, but the characters don’t have much depth to them.

It’s a absolutely an important piece of sci-fi pop culture but as a novel it’s not memorable for me.

Every sentence deserves your time. It read very slowly for me because I had to pause and consider every little thing. Whenever I sat down to read it I was put into a lovely headspace and way of seeing the world.

I should have read this in one sitting for maximum effect. It’s very pretty.

I don't know if I'll ever go into management but this was still a useful read. I don't think I've ever had a great manager. At least now I know what a great manager looks like.

The interviews with staff engineers at various companies helped a lot more than I thought.

Good to read cover to cover once you’re done with Effective Go.

So far, it’s been a concise tour of Go plus some explanations of why certain design decisions were made. It explains some pitfalls and best practices better than the official Go docs. It’s a good companion piece to cement your understanding.

It’s wild but lifeless. Maybe it’s just the translation I read.

The plot is OK. The writing style is just not to my personal liking. It feels too dramatic too much of the time.

It’s written in such a dry, repetitive way that it’s almost not worth reading in full. Try to find like 5 blog posts about this topic and you’ll have all you need to know.
