Didn't even have to think about this one: _Eloquent Javascript_, by Marijn
Haverbeke. He's an amazing writer and a brilliant all-around guy. Technically
it's geared toward new programmers, but it's worth a read at pretty much any
level.

You can find it free online here:
[https://eloquentjavascript.net/](https://eloquentjavascript.net/) or buy a
print version here: [http://nostarch.com/ejs](http://nostarch.com/ejs).

(Full disclosure: I'm listed as the editor on the print version, though in
this case my job basically consisted of nodding as chapters came in and
saying, "Yup, that's a damn good book.")

As long as you feel the benefits outweigh the downsides the only person you
can complain to is yourself. You're still going there aren't you?

I've had an episode quite comparable to this one and it was the last time I
visited the US. I don't bitch about it, I don't begrudge the border guards
their jobs or attitude (I assume they get a lot of shit heaped on them every
day, not an excuse for a non-professional attitude but I'm sure that it
eventually wears you down). I simply took my few-hundred-K per year benefit
for the US elsewhere
