+I'm now reading the art of doing science and engineering. To read is to learn :D

+
+I still buy loads of programming books. If I'm approaching a new subject I'll open up an AI and ask 'recommend me a good book covering <blah>'... 
+
+AI's have their place, and they can present info in a very concise way... but they have no character.. they have no stories to tell... they're not telling you their experience, they are telling you distilled information.
+
+They're not handing down wisdom.
+
+Give me a good book any day, written by someone who has survived the battle.
+
+**2/** **@pikuma** ^2059250631186002435
+
+**@fizzychicken**
+
+I have tons of old books on computers, but I don't really buy books released after 2020 (with a few exceptions).

+
+Why not books after 2020? Am i missing something, i really like programming books
+
+**4/** **@pikuma** ^2059278119207395409
+
+**@LmnkMsh76161** **@fizzychicken**
+
+Most publishers started to approach tech "influencers" to write books on topics they are not experts on. It's a way of cashing on the number of followers to sell more copies once it's done. Besides that, we have LLM slop now.
+
+**5/** **@SprintLoom** ^2059288546704281950
+
+**@pikuma** **@LmnkMsh76161** **@fizzychicken**
+
+I've seen this happen with LLM books where authors with 100k+ followers on X get deals despite never having trained a model or deployed a real system.

+
+**@pikuma** **@LmnkMsh76161** **@fizzychicken**
+
+Same issue in AI conferences — invited speakers sometimes picked for follower count over actual research contributions.

+I still find (and keep buying) programming books the best way to learn how to start learning a language or paradigm in the long run, the magic is in repetition and reminders along the way.

+
+**@gabnattz**
+
+I'd assume that's the reality for most of my followers, since our group doesn't really dig the "fast-food" style of learning. But I'm aware that outside our circle people simply don't care about the process of slowing down to improve the absorption of knowledge.
+
+**3/** **@gabnattz** ^2059242578726277394
+
+**@pikuma**
+
+That's true, I've seeing less and less care about a good craft e.g. in programming, video editing, arts in general.
+Seems like everything NEEDS to be monetized, even your own self fun.
+
+**4/** **@pikuma** ^2059242933363126733
+
+**@gabnattz**
+
+I'm not even complaining about paying for stuff (as you can probably guess from my own website). But I think speed goes against deep understanding.
