🗞️ Issue #10: The Weekly (sort of) Roundup

List of articles, discussions, tweets, and others to add to your weekend reading

What are you up to this weekend? It’s the last weekend of my holiday before I go back to work on Monday. So we’ll probably take a drive to a nearby beach town where the weather experts have forecasted between 6 and 8 meter high swells. It should be quite a site. If that doesn’t pan out, I’ll probably stay on the couch to make a dent on my reading challenge.

In a previous post, I mentioned that I keep updated with learnings, tips, and other words of wisdom through other means that are not Marty Cagan books. So sharing with you 12 links from around the web that are worth adding to your weekend reading. :)
