 <p>The following is a list of software engineering books I've read that I felt had a strong and lasting positive impact on my career. It's not a list of <i>everything</i> I enjoyed (that would be impossible to list down), but rather a special list of resources that taught/helped me so much that I still find myself thinking about them years later. They are my top recommendations for other software engineers.</p>
 <p>Some are about iOS development specifically, but most relate to general software engineering. If you strive to be a world-class developer, these books and resources will help you get there.</p>
-<p>(I'm constantly learning new things, so expect this list to expand. I also have been struggling with bad memory as of late, so I predict that I'll also be updating this list to include things that I failed to recall when first writing it. I'll post a message whenever I update it!)</p>
 <ul>
 <li><b><a href="https://nostarch.com/writegreatcode1_2e">Write Great Code: Understanding The Machine (Randall Hyde)</a></b> - Probably my favorite software engineering book. This book teaches you how modern computers work in a high-level way that is easy to understand and not overly technical. It's not going to teach you new fancy APIs, but it will give you the ability to “understand” code; an ability that has proved to be useful almost daily in my career.</li>
 <li><b><a href="https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP/">Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces (Remzi Arpaci-Dusseau, Andrea Arpaci-Dusseau)</a></b> - This is similar to Understanding The Machine, but is more technical and focused on operating systems specifically. Amazing resource to learn about core OS fundamentals such as memory, threads / concurrency, file systems, and CPU virtualization. <b>It's also free.</b></li>
