    Have you read Brent Weeks books? He wrote a trilogy called the Night Angel trilogy, and just released a fourth novel called Nemesis. I admittedly haven’t finished the book yet, but I’m 75% through it and find it so much better than than the original three books. His writing has improved substantially over the years (side note: the Lightbringer series is incredible).

    But all this is to say that Nemesis is about a heist. Weeks wanted to write a book about a heist and to try first person perspective, and Nemesis is what came from that.




  • Not OP, but an IDE is the app you use when actually typing in your code. Like, every language could probably be typed up in Microsoft’s Notepad, but that would be awful! Other “editors” have color coding that make your code MUCH easier to follow. And, you know, dark mode.

    VS Code, as raccoon mentioned, is my go-to. It’s free, and there are free plugins that color code any language you want to learn and help autocomplete stuff and other helpful things.

    I’ve re-read several books and I always find that I missed things or the author was hinting at things that I didn’t notice (or had no way of knowing) and it can be really enjoyable. Plus if a character has a really great arc and shows a lot of growth I’ve found it interesting to watch them from the beginning knowing where they end up.
