paulgraham.com · Paul Graham · Dec 19, 2025 · Readwise

This is classic PG distilling decades of startup/creator wisdom into practical advice about finding meaningful work and executing consistently. For Brian, it validates his side project approach and offers frameworks for thinking about career trajectory and project selection that could help him level up both his fintech work and independent ventures.

Your job is to deliver code you have proven to work

simonwillison.net · Simon Willison · Dec 18, 2025 · Readwise

This directly addresses a problem Brian likely sees daily - both in his fintech work reviewing PRs and in his side projects using AI tools. Simon's practical framework for "proving code works" (manual + automated testing) gives Brian a concrete angle to write about his own AI-assisted development workflow, especially with tools like Claude Code that he's probably already using.

Be Your Best in 2026: The Most Important Lessons from The Knowledge Project (2025)

fs.blog · Vicky · Dec 18, 2025 · Readwise

This is a generic "best of" podcast compilation with no actual content to evaluate—just a landing page with guest names and vague promises about "insights on decision-making and leadership." Without transcripts or specific takeaways, there's nothing actionable here for Brian to build on.

The Lost Generation

compactmag.com · Jacob Savage · Dec 17, 2025 · Readwise

This is a well-written but very niche cultural/political piece about white male millennials in creative industries. While Brian might find it intellectually interesting, it doesn't connect meaningfully to his core domains of tech, AI, side projects, or productivity—and the tone/subject matter doesn't align with his practical, solution-oriented writing style.

List of lists

docs.google.com · docs.google.com · Dec 15, 2025 · Raindrop

This is Christine's comprehensive personal wiki covering community building, self-actualization, creative projects, and relationship advice - essentially a creative person's life's work documented publicly. While there are some interesting organizational patterns and a few productivity/automation concepts, most content is focused on creative expression, therapy modalities, and social dynamics that don't align with Brian's technical/business focus.

luxesource.com · luxesource.com · Dec 14, 2025 · Raindrop

This is a comprehensive interior design trend article that has essentially zero overlap with Brian's technical interests, side projects, or content focus. While it might be personally useful if he's renovating his home, there's no clear angle that connects to his audience of developers and solopreneurs.
