Ask HN: CS book club material recommendations
During this time of more indoor activity I'm looking to start a remote CS book club or reading group with a few friends most of us in software development or data science. What are some classic or modern papers, articles, or other short pieces you would recommend? maybe something that would be fun or interesting to discuss in a group settings.
