A personal archive of CS and general-interest book PDFs (via Git LFS) plus reading notes from one prolific Chinese developer. Covers distributed systems, ML, algorithms, operating systems, and a pile of business/self-help titles. The notes are genuine digests, not AI summaries — someone actually read these books.
The reading notes on classics like DDIA, CSAPP, SICP, and Clean Architecture are worth something on their own — they're actual summaries with the author's take, not just chapter headings. The year-author-title naming convention makes it easy to see what edition of what book was read. Coverage spans a wider arc than most similar repos: distributed systems papers, OS textbooks, growth hacking books, and philosophy all coexist without pretending they're the same category. The chronological archive from 1982 to 2024 gives an honest picture of how the field's reading list has shifted.
The PDF collection is a legal landmine — the README acknowledges the files come from the internet and apologizes in advance for copyright issues, but that disclaimer does not actually protect anyone. Nearly all the notes are in Chinese with no English versions, which cuts out most of the potential audience reading this description. It's a single person's private library made public, so there's no curation process, no quality filter on what gets added, and no community notes — the 1,148 forks are people mirroring it, not contributing. Git LFS for a collection of copyrighted PDFs is an odd choice that will cause friction for anyone who actually tries to clone it.
