  • A book about numbers 0-9. I probably had this book earlier but the first read-throughs of my own I remember were at 4. It already started with a banger, “0 is not nothing 0 is a number”, a sentence I have since quoted to my software developer colleagues on multiple relevant occasions. I loved the book so much that even more than 30 years later I remember it by heart.


  • Reminds me of an old office that changed their policy so that you needed a doctors note for even a single sick day. They thought it would keep people from calling out for a day for headaches. All it did was cause all previous 1 day sicknesses to be extended to 3-5 days because no doctor here writes a note for anything less.
