    Watercooler Talk - Finding Your Next Book: Building a Reading Habit

    In this episode Josh and Jesse talk about getting back into reading after their earlier Seven Habits series and struggling to pick the next book. They discuss the polarizing reviews around the “Strange” books (including Strange Pictures and Strange Houses), why love-it-or-hate-it art can be more interesting than universally liked work, and how culture and translation shape storytelling, with examples from Japanese mysteries and The Three-Body Problem’s differing translations. They also share strategies for reading more consistently—setting aside 20 minutes a day, using phone readers, and replacing bedtime doom scrolling with a few pages—while noting how vivid imagination can make books feel like movies. They hope to both finish a book and return to discuss it. Support the show

    Why You Should Take Breaks From Work

    Josh and Jesse discuss why taking breaks from work matters beyond burnout, arguing that time away can reveal gaps in documentation, automation, and shared knowledge so a team isn’t dependent on one person. They talk about breaks as a way to live life now instead of postponing experiences until retirement, and how stepping away can spark innovation, reset routines, and help reassess whether you’re building the right product or using the right tools. Jesse shares how conferences can feel like a productive break for remote teams and reflects on balancing work with family life, including guilt around time off. They also debate “unlimited vacation,” its incentives, and how remote flexibility can be both empowering and exploitable, concluding that people should take breaks regularly and work in whatever rhythm fits them as long as the work gets done.
