Hartley's Handbook - First Edition
I've hemmed and hawed about putting together a newsletter on LinkedIn, but I'm finally doing it. As a constant learner, I love having resources to quickly challenge my viewpoint, give me a new perspective, or open the door to a new area I've never considered. I hope this can be that resource for you!
The articles I've linked to are articles that I've read, written, or sent to other engineering leaders over the past week.
What I read this week:
Newsletter Recommendation:
CTO Craft - This has been a fantastic resource for me over the past year. With a Slack community and conferences (their Winter Con videos can be found here), it's been an incredible group to learn from. Best of all, the basics (newsletter, Slack channel, etc) are completely free. Pretty good deal if you ask me!
Game I'm Playing - Dwarf Fortress (Steam)
Recommended to me by the awesome Mark Holtman , Dwarf Fortress is "The deepest, most intricate simulation of a world that's ever been created." A procedurally generated world, history, environment, and set of starting dwarves. The systems design that lies underneath this world is massive and is a 20-year undertaking. Honestly, it's kind of overwhelming to know that I've only scratched the surface of what it has to offer.
Also, the whole game is under 235 MB, [Mind_blown.gif] and was created by two brothers. If you like systems and world simulations, this is a game for you to delve deeper into.
Have an engineering leadership question? Let me know! I would love to find an answer together with you.
Similarly, what is helpful to you in these newsletters? More links? More ideas? Meatier topics?
