Nathan’s Reading List: 7/7/2015

Here are a few interesting things I read last week:

• This link from Microsoft is a chapter from a book on “Scenario Focused Engineering”. We practiced SFE at Microsoft on a couple of project and I pushed past my initial skepticism to become a true believer. Agile friendly. Apply what works.
• Why Hiring For “Culture Fit” Hurts Your Culture. An appeal for true diversity.
• How Side Projects Saved Our Startup. Interesting thoughts on both channel and message.
• Interesting visualizations of food price data over time. 
• Will Gochujang will be the next Sriracha?
• The top twenty snack categories with the most growth potential, according to a survey.
• The Cartographer Who’s Transforming Map Design. An interesting read, and pointers to tools.
• MicroStrategy 10 adds support for D3 visualizations.
