It's a little dry but the Google SRE book is a good compliment to designing data intensive applications. I have this site saved as well, it seems to be a good source of technical books. https://teachyourselfcs.com/

VR and 3D development. It's much bigger than games. There are some frameworks that are just now hitting their stride that make it 10x easier to build virtual worlds. Unreal Engine 5 in particular has been interesting to me. Even today

I can't remember the name of it now but I think someone here made something that bootstraps a saas for you with Django, auth, stripe integration, and all that kind of basic stuff. Edit: after searching I think this is what I was thinki

I feel like you must have seen it given that you're working on this but just in case, the AlphaGo Documentary (2017) was quite good. I bet you'd enjoy it.

Paul Graham talks about this some in Living in the future[0] I think there are 2 stages. Learning new stuff that has potential and understanding how much potential it has. For the learning part you want to be really open minded and talk to

Game Programming Patterns by Nystrom. Great book, a lot of the ideas apply outside of games Use of Weapons by Ian M. Banks. I was going to suggest the first book in the culture series but when I looked it was claimed to be a "best sell

A book that made a big difference in my life was feeling great by David Burns. If you don't feel up to reading that either I understand. Life has a lot of chapters. It won't always feel the way it does right now. Hang in there fri
