I am reading Musashi it's a novel about one of the greatest samurai of history. It is a long book, maybe the longest I ever read. I like it, and it is interesting. Is not only fighting but also a lot of psychology and nice words.

I'm reading his book now! The Complete Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi . My boss recommended it to me for career development. So far it's slow going, I'm trying not to lose too much to translation so I'm reading all the footnotes.

I should read that book too. Is it interesting? I'm curious, why is useful for career development?

I dealt with some sexism at a tech conference. I got back and told my boss, who asked a senior women if she had any books she would recommend. She recommended that, which I thought was kinda badass. Instead of fuzzy self help, her advice is basically "be a samurai".
