Speed-reading promises more books and delivers fewer ideas. What happens when you deliberately read at half the pace.

Nothing syncs, nothing searches, nothing reminds you. That turns out to be the point.

Most of the work that shaped me was never published. A short defence of the private draft.

Your backlog is not a debt. Deleting half of it is a legitimate act of reading.

Every metric you improve quietly deletes something nobody thought to measure.
