Time investment: 3 mins

An Opinionated Guide to Modern Java Development
Time investment: 21 mins
Java has changed. The language recently acquired lambda expression and traits; libraries provide it with true lightweight threads – just like Erlang’s and Go’s. And, most importantly, a more modern, lightweight approach now guides API, library and framework design, replacing all the old heavyweight, XML-laden ones.

Carol Dweck On Being Perfect
Time investment: 40 mins
Dweck found that people with what she calls a growth mindset don't fear failure and embarrassment in the same way. Where someone with a fixed mindset is afraid to persevere in the face of a setback or big challenge, the growth mindset person jumps in. They see it as an opportunity to develop and grow. That makes growth mindset people potentially more resilient and creative.

A list of books I recently found interesting but haven't read.

The Engineering Manager Handbook
Bought.
Oren Ellenbogen's new book, based on his popular newsletter Software Lead Weekly. http://leadingsnowflakes.com/

Project Management Lite
Bought.
I realized I need to do better as a project manager, so I bought the kindle book.
