Beneath the Raptor's Wing a few year ago but the author's righting style focused too heavy on techno-bable. I had started reading the Welcome to the NHK light novel earlier this year, but I don't have the time to read. I'd love to get into some light novels or manga for series I really enjoyed (Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, Nichijou, Hitori Bocchi) but it's a big time investment and I'd prefer physical manga over scanlations.

Is that written for any particular language, I imagine, in order to compare 'messy code' to 'clean code'?Not familiar with that book, but many languages have an "idiomatic" way of using the language. Like Python has The Hitchhiker's Guide to Python and Go has Effective Go. Once you get to more wide-spread enterprise languages like Java you have many different hands in what is and isn't idiomatic Java (FYI: I hate Java, awful language and I don't know what idiomatic Java even looks like). --- You're a regular Jack Kerouac ...

The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing by Marie Kondo.
As a hoarder I keep far too much stuff out of sentimental reasons (i.e. old homework from 20+ years ago), I do feel she brings up a lot of good points in regards to decluttering. Stuff that I have not bother looking for or needed in several years probably can safely be tossed out. EDIT: See how bad I am? I said I can probably should toss out items I have not looked at in several years instead just admitting I should toss such items out. --- "You must gather your party before venturing forth" "Go for the eyes Boo!

Is that written for any particular language, I imagine, in order to compare 'messy code' to 'clean code'?it's language-independent mostly. Robert C. Martin has three "Clean" books: Clean Code, Clean Architecture, and The Clean Coder. Clean Code is actually about "comparing messy code to clean code". IIRC almost all of the examples are Java, but still the advice works for any language. Clean Architecture is focused on higher-level organization of software systems. It basically works its way up to Hexagonal Architecture (which is like the awesomest thing ever and I can't believe I only learned about it like ~9 months ago), but he doesn't go into very much detail. (This book I feel could have had a whole other section leading the reader through a full implementation of a Hexagonal system.) (He does say that Hexagonal is only one example of a clean architecture though. I haven't learned others yet, but Hexagonal is my favorite at the moment.) The Clean Coder focuses on being a professional ("clean") employee rather that being directly applicable to code. Things like, don't agree to deadlines you obviously can't make; it's your responsibility to inform management of the true nature of the situation; make sure you don't lose control of your codebase (keep it tested at all times); etc. --- ...
