I just finished reading Children of Dune and I’m on the fence about continuing with God Emperor of Dune. Should I keep going? If not, what should I read next? Currently re-reading The Hobbit.
Currently reading: Tradition and Apocalypse by David Bentley Hart. Halfway through and finding myself agreeing with DBH’s critiques of Newman’s Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine. 📚
Really looking forward to reading this! “Tradition and Apocalypse” by David Bentley Hart.
Currently reading: Microservices Patterns by Chris Richardson 📚
Karl Barth’s “The Epistle to the Romans” is now out on @Logos, so here’s one of my favorite quotes from “Der Römerbrief.” May the theological critique of religion live on. A faith that is not self-critical is a dead faith, indeed.
I’m back on Twitter a bit after awhile away and, perhaps it’s just me (or just Twitter), but why is the ‘Discourse’ (ha!) on Christian Twitter so exhausting and sad? I might just stick with micro.blog and Wordle for the sake of my blood pressure.
Survived my first 2 weeks as a professional software engineer! I’m excited to keep learning and getting better at the craft.
I’m grateful for Stephen Colbert’s reminder that the Good News is a comedy, not a tragedy. Love will have the final laugh, albeit through tears.
What are your favorite lifehacks that a software engineer would find useful?
Pretty proud of this one.

Looking to cut our losses and sell our 2011 Honda CR-V. It starts and runs, but it’s got one cylinder with zero compression and its catalytic converter is going bad. Any suggestions for where/how to sell a used vehicle in this condition?
Anyone read this or the other volumes in the series? I love Farnam Street, and I’m wondering how far beyond the website the books go. Currently reading: The Great Mental Models Volume 1: General Thinking Concepts by Rhiannon Beaubien 📚
Currently reading: A Common-Sense Guide to Data Structures and Algorithms, Second Edition: Level Up Your Core Programming Skills by Jay Wengrow 📚
