A beautiful dive into the world of programming. Life-changing. This is the kind of book that stays with you long after finishing. Each chapter was a revelation. It made me reflect on so many aspects of my life. I couldn’t stop reading once I started. The writing style is warm and engaging. I’ve already recommended it to my entire friend group.
