The grid is an accident of history and of culture, in no way intrinsic to how we produce, deliver and consume electrical power. Yet this is the system the United States ended up with, a jerry-built structure now so rickety and near collapse that a strong wind or a hot day can bring it to a grinding halt. The grid is now under threat from a new source: renewable and variable energy, which puts stress on its logics as much as its components.

Technical knowledge alone isn't enough - increase your software development income by leveling up your soft skills Early in his software developer career, John Sonmez discovered that technical knowledge alone isn't enough to break through to the next income level - developers need "soft skills" like the ability to learn new technologies just in time, communicate clearly with management and consulting clients, negotiate a fair hourly rate, and unite teammates and coworkers in working toward a common goal.

Story
Nikola Tesla was a major contributor to the electrical revolution that transformed daily life at the turn of the 20th century. His inventions, patents, and theoretical work formed the basis of modern AC electricity, and contributed to the development of radio and television. Like his competitor Thomas Edison, Tesla was one of America's first celebrity scientists, enjoying the company of New York high society and dazzling the likes of Mark Twain with his electrical demonstrations. An astute self-promoter and gifted showman, he cultivated a public image of the eccentric genius.

In Glow Kids, Dr. Nicholas Kardaras will examine how technology - more specifically, age-inappropriate screen tech, with all of its glowing ubiquity - has profoundly affected the brains of an entire generation. Brain imaging research is showing that stimulating glowing screens are as dopaminergic (dopamine activating) to the brain’s pleasure center as sex. And a growing mountain of clinical research correlates screen tech with disorders like ADHD, addiction, anxiety, depression, increased aggression, and even psychosis.

It is a journey into a past vividly brought to life and bursting with ideas, that pits one century against another in his quest to measure which century saw the greatest change.

Poor grammar and pronunciation of industry terms
This got the basic idea across. I appreciate the balanced presentation of pros and cons. Based on that (and not yet knowing how “we” do this) I’m not sure I am sold on the approach over traditional SOAP and REST.
There were many times when a singular word was pluralized and plural words were singularized. I don’t know if this was in the text or a narration issue, but this was distracting. Not pronouncing JSON and other industry acronyms was distracting. Consistently using respiratory for repository was also distracting.

narrator hard to listen to
The content seems ok, but I couldnt finish this book. The narrators voice was unbearable. I've never heard vocal fry that extreme before, this is not read by someone who narrates books for a living.

Review of the audiobook
The voice is so difficult to listen to, mainly the fake enthusiasm, vocal fry, and strange cadence.
