// 📚 books in queue

rough priority order. updated as I finish or reprioritise.

Database Internals — Petrov
Storage engines, B-trees, LSM trees. Great for understanding what's under the query layer.
Designing Data-Intensive Apps — Kleppmann
Read chapters out of order — want a proper front-to-back read.
The Linux Programming Interface
The definitive reference on syscalls and POSIX. Dense, worth it.
100 Go Mistakes — Harsanyi
Lots of things I thought I understood but didn't. Recommended for anyone past beginner in Go.
