This is a plain-text version of Bret Victor’s reading list. It was requested by hf on Hacker News.
Highly recommended things!
This is my five-star list. These are my favorite things in all the world.
A few of these works have had an extraordinary effect on my life or way of thinking. They get a sixth star. ★

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discussions around concrete examples, not handy-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.
Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.
