Description

It's easy to get so laser-focused on programming and tech, that you close yourself off to other avenues of learning.

In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, Aaron argues that non-tech reading can sharpen your engineering thinking.

We discuss balancing breadth without diluting focus, and how to turn casual reading into active learning with quick capture habits.
