Reading

Lewis et al. — back to RAG fundamentals for the GEO work — holds up.

Vaswani et al. — reread it before a work project. still the cleanest eight pages in ML.

Phil Knight — the Nike memoir. read it mid marathon-training — perfect fuel.

Rich Sutton — keeps aging well. general methods + compute win, again and again.

Andrej Karpathy — the "become one with the data" line lives in my head rent-free.

Dan McKinley — innovation tokens — the budget metaphor i quote in every arch review.

Daniel Kahneman — long, but system 1 vs 2 changed how i read my own bugs.

Christopher McDougall — the book that got me running in the first place. blame it for the marathon.

Hunt & Thomas — reread the 20th-anniversary edition. "don't repeat yourself" still undefeated.
