Reading a book next to my coding

In the morning, labor; in the afternoon, building an online shopping mall.

Concept: ChatGPT
Coding: Claude Code
Dev planning and review: Gemini 3  

I read a book while coding.
Busy? … more like, I used “mind-too-cluttered” as my excuse,
and for too long I had only been buying books
without actually reading them, so I opened one.

Oh — no, that’s not quite right.
I’m sitting next to my coding, reading a book.
The book is “The Reading of Youth” (Cheongchun-ui Dokseo).
I bought this one at the Aladin used bookstore,
and there’s a handwritten signature from Yoo Si-min on the first page.


We were not born for the world
We came to the world to live
— Yoo Si-min

This English version was translated by Claude.
