  3. Analytical - take notes and study book
  4. Syntopic - compare multiple books

Tips

  • When reading an article go for 3 at least
  • You should be able to take at least one bullet point
  • If the insights aren't actionable they're trivia

Code Reading

  • Read the code at least twice
  • Check the differences of code
  • Check how the code is used
  • Search for similar code
  • Run the tests
  • Use the debugger
  • If you don't have E2E or integrations tests deploy the solution
  • Don't be afraid of refactoring and adding code suggestions
