Blog post: My 2021 Best Book Awards
Posted on January 21, 20222021 was my best year of reading yet, and I want to celebrate these books with some book awards.
Hello Readers.
I’m Max Antonucci. I write code, blog posts, notebooks, and musings.
As a programmer, I code for the front-end and back-end. For my work, I write a lot of JavaScript, Ruby, and Ruby on Rails. I'm also building more specialized knowledge in web accessibility and design systems.
As a writer, I write to remember lessons I've learned in programming, psychology, philosophy, and absurd topics that tend to confuse my friends.
As a human being, I enjoy reading, boxing, and some casual gaming. I don't enjoy paying bills, getting too little sleep, and fighting my inner demons of perfectionism and self-pressure.
As a chainsaw juggler, I don't do anything since I don't exist.
Recent Writing
My blog is where I keep my big lessons. Sometimes they're important code knowledge or concepts. Sometimes it's career or life lessons. Other times it's broad changes in how I think. But they're all short stories taken from the novel of my life.
You can read more of my blog here. Or read a random blog post.
