The highlight for me was the inspiring story behind Stardew Valley. A freshly graduated developer who couldn’t land a job decided to make a small game to gain experience. The game became a hit and made him a multi-millionaire. These were the most motivational and inspiring 25 pages I’ve read in a while.

A super easy read, Krishna discusses the idea that the best user experience is something that doesn’t require any interface at all — a challenging thing to read as a designer perhaps, but also incredibly insightful.

This is the first book of the Mistborn trilogy by renowned fantasy writer Brandon Sanderson. Sanderson introduces the world of Scadrial beautifully by following the journey of Vin, a young street kid learning the powers of Allomancy.
The Mistborn series is a heist story of political intrigue and magical, martial-arts action. I highly recommend it.
