The Good (Product) Reads section can be hard to follow on a periodic basis as it doesn't highlight new entries so here is a changelog for you to pick up where you left off reading.
Why a changelog and no newsletter or email subscription?
I don't want to burden you with notifications and feel that most of this
literature is only useful when consumed to apply and not hoard in one's
head.
Let me know
if you think I should start something like a bi-weekly
