Reinertsen's Principles is an amazing book. The way he combines lean, network engineering and all the rest to create an actually meaningful and coherent picture of product development is genius.

I am a better developer because of building my thinking about software around a deeper appreciation of data structures setting goals by focusing on personal considerations of ethics.

Books that have improved me but not my career:

Principles - https://www.amazon.com/Principles-Ray-Dalio-audiobook/dp/B07...

Lots and lots of fiction.

I'm reading Principles by Ray Dalio. In it he mentions how Bridgewater had been using myer-briggs to test and measurement their employees personalities.

I've always been dismissive of the myer-briggs test. Since the tests are "not reproducable", must mean it's at best a pseudo-science.

But then I realized, who am I to dismiss the idea? I'm not an expert. Much smarter people than I (Dalio) believe in it. At the end of the day, does it help us move closer to understanding the differences between our minds?

I'd say yes it does. It may not be a "perfect" 100% correct model, but at least it's a step towards a direction.
