I recommend Stephen's Guide to the Logical Fallacies for a comprehensive breakdown of common reasoning errors. It is a valuable tool for identifying flawed arguments, sharpening critical thinking, and understanding the core principles of logic.
I found this guide to identifying logical fallacies and manipulative rhetorical tactics. It breaks down the 'cheap shots' people use to win arguments through intellectual dishonesty rather than seeking the actual truth.
Review essential truths and myths of software development, including the 28x productivity gap, the high cost of maintenance, and why software estimation often fails due to poor timing and incorrect stakeholders.
I look at Stephen King’s choice to stop writing 'The Plant.' While many downloaded the chapters, few paid, proving the risks of honesty-based digital publishing. It’s a smart, if frustrating, move for the author.
I found that lowering GPT-5 Nano’s reasoning_effort to minimal caused hallucinated failures on a simple checklist task. Increasing it to medium restored accuracy but added 3,000 reasoning tokens, highlighting the hidden costs and power of reasoning-on-demand.
I'm tracking Stephen King's experiment with self-publishing The Plant online in dollar installments. By bypassing traditional publishers and relying on an honor-system payment model, he's testing whether direct digital distribution is viable for authors.
