I grabbed this book not as an entrepreneurship or Kickstarter guide but to know more about their authors, the people behind Studio Neat, as I like their products and wanted a look behind the scenes.

In that sense it is an interesting and easy read. Also I think the first chapter (Philosophy) is a good summary of best practices in design.

I have really enjoyed this book. I was a teenager on the 90s and remember reading the t-files from the cDc and later the appearance of Back Orifice.

I looked if there was any book about the cDc after they showed Veilid in DEF CON 31:

And if you read this book you will see that Veilid has been a long time in the making.

tl;dr get this book. Read it. Enjoy Vim like never before.

The first chapters of this book are a great introduction to the use of Vim for new users and upon reading some pages they will be more proficient than many seasoned users that didn't read the manual or grok Vim's style.

For the seasoned and expert user there is A LOT of information and tips in this book. Everyone will find something new and mind blowing.

I’m flabbergasted to see so many positive reviews of an unapologetically heteronormative book.

I can understand that people write from their experiences and idiosyncrasies. I can see how many people could have wrote a similar book in the 70s in Europe.

But this was written in 20-fucking-14 and it oozes transphobia and homophobia by the same omission it condemns in sexism. It also reeks of capitalist propaganda about deserving respect for effort, entrepreneurship and money after saying it wouldn't go into class struggle.

I’m really disappointed on people suggesting this is a good introduction to feminism in the 21st century. This is feminism for the 1% from a person that knows her privilege compared to her environment.

I stopped reading this book on chapter 3.

The style is callous and the author is prone to blame the Irish people of things like the Great Hunger or the lack of industry while openly condoning the British government.

This is written from a colonialist mindset and like the VSI to capitalism it has an obvious Tory bias so I assume that’s the editorial line of the VSI collection.

A really short but worthy story.

At the end of the day this is yet another self help book written with a lot of filler that could be a long article.

But I’m giving it four stars because although it is not original I think it is easier to read than other literature of the area.

And more importantly, it fills a void between GTD and more complete PKM methods like the Zettelkasten including a space for imperfection that both ZK and GTD don’t allow.

I have read worse books, starting with David Allen’s GTD.
