A full list of what I’ve read is on GoodReads

A reverse chronological list of the books I’ve read that have some impact on what I’m working on at Shopify and that help with Dev Managing. Mostly managerial these days.

Problem is, I wrote a number of these when I was at Wave and can’t remember the exact dates!
