Ep. 68: From homeschooler to self-taught full stack developer

In 'Deep Work', Cal Newport argues that the ability to perform deep work—professional activities in a state of distraction-free concentration—is becoming increasingly valuable in our economy. The book is divided into two parts: the first part explains why deep work is valuable, rare, and meaningful, while the second part presents four rules to transform your mind and habits to support this skill. These rules include 'Work Deeply', 'Embrace Boredom', 'Quit Social Media', and 'Drain the Shallows'. Newport provides actionable advice and examples from various successful individuals to help readers master the skill of deep work and achieve groundbreaking results.

Petzold uses everyday objects and familiar language systems to illustrate the development of computer technology, making the subject understandable for readers of various technical backgrounds. The book covers topics from the construction of logic gates and memory banks to operating systems and high-level languages, providing a thorough understanding of the digital revolution.
