I love the variety of recommendations in this issue, from Allo Mechanisms to attachment styles to that irresistible Sichuan Chili Crisp! I especially appreciated the Hacker Laws, as they offer timeless insights that can be applied to so many aspects of life, not just software development. The idea that “complex systems evolve from simple ones” resonates deeply. It’s always refreshing to come across resources that broaden the way we think about progress and the systems we interact with. Thanks for sharing this eclectic mix—looking forward to next week’s recommendations!

NASA'S LAW: Work flows to the most competent man until he sinks.
