Definitely true. I was hoping to write the book in two years and it took me six. By the end (which was also during the pandemic) I was pretty fried and it was hard to summon much energy for whismy. I tried to pack as many illustrations in as I could, but by later chapters I was really just trying to get it done.

Also, pragmatically, I found the chapters on the bytecode VM really needed a lot more useful illustrations for things the execution flow so that left less space for the fun ones.

Sorry, all sales are final. I've already spent the money on whiskey and synthesizers. That's what you get for not scrutinizing the later chapters on the free web version first to ensure that they were up to your standards.
