I'd heard about Millionaire Next Door for years and mistakenly wrote it off as one of those scammy "buy my program" books about visualization. Then it was gifted to me, and boy, was I wrong! Couldn't put it down. It's packed full of interesting tidbits and data. While I'd highly recommend reading the book yourself, I also wrote some notes on it here [0].

on “Zola: A fast static site generator in a single binary”If you have an iPhone, you can physically connect it to your computer and inspect its elements through Safari's DevTools. It's a little unintuitive, but I wrote a walkthrough on how to set it up here (see the second section) [0]. I don't know why they make this so hard, ha! [0]: https://mtm.dev/iphone-localhost-mac

on “Show HN: How attractive is your website? Check using Visual Mind AI”Hadn't heard of Eleventy, I thought Zola was where you went for speed, which they don't even bother comparing too.
