    “"The Art of Doing Science and Engineering" by Hamming is great, but the actual quality of the physical book is so much better than typical that I looked up the publisher -- I had no idea that [Stripe Press] was a thing!”

    Public Twitter recommendation from June 2020, both for the content and for the physical edition (the post that put many engineers onto Stripe Press).
