Stuff that have had an impact on me.

Terminal, UNIX and (Neo)Vim

Learning vim and terminal was a joy during my undergraduate days. It made me curious about UNIX & OSS. I've had my fair share of distro hopping and ricing. Made me proficient in text editing, imbibed OSS spirit and helped me find joy in tinkering and building stuff.

Courage to be Disliked

I've read this book when I was having trouble understanding my relationship with one of my close friends. It helped me look from his point of view. It made me a better, easy going person.

Paul Graham's Essays

It is a knowledge dump. Too much stuff about things I didn't know, stuff hard to put into words with a lot of aha moments. Lot of wisdom.

Reading Manga

Well, really can't explain it right now. But reading one piece (from the early chapters) gave me so much drive, "let's fucking do it" energy. Reading manga gave me happiness, immense joy.

Also, shoutout to dandan and chainsaw man.

There are many great stories which provide enjoyment while subtly providiing optisim in bad situatations. It helps me move forward in my life.NeoVim
