Hi friends,

Here's your weekly pickings, things I've been reading, pondering and exploring.

  1. This talk by John Ousterhout was on my recommended list on YouTube and I'm glad I watched it. Although a lot of the examples he gives are Java based, it's still insightful.

2. Google lens made it to the Google homepage. Read more about it here. I've been using Google lens off and on especially when I'm trying to figure out who someone is in a picture and this is pretty convenient having it on the real frontpage of the internet.

3. This week I dove deeper into usability studies in the UX research process and this beginner article by the Nielsen Norman Group was really helpful.

4. An image I can't stop thinking about.

Let that sink in.

5. A conversation I've been following on Quora on the space Beginner Coder, on why programmers are paid well. Follow the conversation here.
