There's a Youtube playlist I stumbled on. It follows along with the Rust Book.

Not tech related but...

Uncertainty and the Welfare Economics of Medical Care by Kenneth Arrow (1963) [1].

This paper effectively makes the case that medical care shouldn't be treated like other goods.

If you're remotely interested in health econ/health industry, I recommend reading it.

Big fan. Have you read Norm Daniels' Just Health? It's a riff off a Rawls/Social Contract world view, and it really spoke to me.

It has been on my list of books to read since I saw it on the Incidental Economist blog years ago. Thanks for giving me the push I needed to read it.

My pleasure. Shoot me an email at jordan at birnholtz dot com if you'd like any notes or supplementary texts (or just a friendly chat about the subject).

The Little MongoDB Book might help. It doesn't answer all your questions but it gave me enough background (albeit MongoDB specific) to learn more. It's also a fairy short read. http://openmymind.net/mongodb.pdf

The Little Redis Book [1] might be better. Redis is easier to pick up and probably more useful as it's more complementary to existing database options.

Thanks, will check this out.
