that advice is probably for the people who collect books to display and never read them
Look, I am absolutely going to read through my copy of Prima Tech’s Isometric Game Programming With DirectX 7.0 [2002 Paperback Ed.] one of these days! Also the Packt Publishing first editon of Apache OFBiz Cookbook, because studying software development guides for dead FOSS ERP platforms is 100% a valid use of my limited time on this mortal coil in whatever circle of purgatory I’ve managed to get myself into.
…I should really prune my shelf, but there are some decent game engine coding idioms and proto-design patterns worked into those old DirectX 6 and 7 books, even if the graphics APIs and pipeline designs are dated as hell and might as well be Sanskrit instead of C++ with a fuckton of DLL calls.
How else do I communicate to my coworkers via Zoom that I have a color-coded library of Harry Potter books?
Okay, fuck this trend.
Come and take them, Marie.
There’s a quote that goes that if a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, then what is an empty desk a sign of?
That made me chuckle, I agree.
I mostly read my books but I’d rather keep buying books and only read a few of them as I go as opposed to staying capped at my book amount but keeping things organized.
