Strunk and White's The Elements of Style.

A guide to communicating in written English. It covers mechanical details like comma placement, but also philosophical opinions about what makes good writing.

As programmers, we write a lot of emails and web posts explaining our decisions, philosophy, details of a particular system, etc. It's important to write clearly because we are discussing complex ideas and we are often trying to convince someone. Clear and punchy writing makes a big difference. Silly mistakes can make you look unprofessional.

Even in code comments, good writing style is important. We must be precise and unambiguous.

Many good programmers are not native English speakers. This book encourages simpler structures and more common words, which are easier for non-native speakers to understand.

(I posted the Project Gutenberg link earlier, but it was the original edition from 1919. It might be pretty limited compared to later editions.)

Those are all 1080 samsung monitors, I prefer their business ones because they don't have fancy shiny bezels.

I had ordered that stand off of Amazon a few years back, you can find similar models for substantially cheaper than what I had paid at the time now.

That is a very similar product compared to mine, mine has adjustable height for the bars.
