Show Your Work!

Given its length, this feels more like a collection of blog post than a book. The good thing is that the book makes its point quickly and leaves it there. With well placed illustrations and emphasis, it hits the point of the ten topics it covers succinctly.

The drawback is that this seems very simplistic in many cases (see my comment on a collection of blog posts). To me, the points were quite familiar and there was no additional insight. I did find a lot of well-written messages I can use to remind myself and others but no “Aha” moment. Still, it was an enjoyable quick read.

If you don't see the point in why you should talk about your work or even think about making your work reachable to others, then this book is highly valuable to you. For others, it is a good reminder.
