I recently bought an Amazon Kindle Paperwhite — my first ereader — and have been reading Radical Candor on it. So far, I’m loving how I can highlight things without ruining the book. As much as I love reading on paper, I never wanted to destroy a book by marking it up with notes or highlights. It’s nice to feel totally free to do this, and the Paperwhite makes it really easy to highlight text. Maybe I should just get over myself and mark up paper books, but I guess that would require buying rather than borrowing and I’m not sure I want to do that. View quoted note →

I started reading Radical Candor on @Montzstar’s recommendation and I’m loving it so far. I’ve been trying to be a little more direct and a little clear on what I want, need, or expect at work.

Yes! In A Bit of Optimism where Simon Sinek interviewed her, they talked about how this is useful for dealing with adults, too! The Simon Sinek interview is quite a bit shorter, so it might be a good option if you don’t have ~3 hours to listen.

Enjoyed this post about X, Nostr, Mastodon, and others: https://highlighter.com/a/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzqtkqtqa8m2md0lhr9mcd2fwsefd99ff4lvnwezp8ykfwld3lyr04qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uqq6vfhxgurxve5xcerwwpsxydr7f92 I do wonder about this — everyone says this, but I’m not sure _why_: "Do regular users really need to think about public and private keys? Yes, yes, I get it — users have to keep in mind their privacy if they want to have it. But you have to read at least something to understand what you're doing, which is automatically more difficult than simply press ‘Sign up’.” _Do_ regular users really need to think about public and private keys? Why?
