This book is worth it just because of the insane list of resources I've bookmarked and books I've added to my reading list. A rabbit hole in its own, and I will definitely come back to some of the book sections.

Swyx gives some really good (yet, common sense) advice on what steps we developers should take to market and improve ourselves, and it could be a useful read for both junior and senior developers.

Some things I didn't like:

* the marketing of the “Second brain course” for which I still have no idea what's about, and the course price is whooping $1.5k. Some examples of how this looks like would be much appreciated, as I'm definitely not giving any money to shady courses.
* a lot of links throughout the chapters, it can be a bit distracting sometimes. There are parts in the book that are assuming that we've read some article or book, which usually is not the case, and readers can feel like they are missing on a true understanding of something because they haven't read it.
