If you look at this article and think “this is too long to read” you’re part of the target audience. Make the time.
I typed out a thoughtful response to this, and then the server hiccuped and I lost it. When I was still in college, I used to get ideas when I was doing something, and I’d pause to record voice notes on my phone.

I think I’d want some kind of voice-to-text thing, because while I don’t have time to sit down to read a book I can totally make time to glance through short-hand notes. Especially for podcasts when they mention a book, would be nice to just “note to self - look up X by Y” y’know?
Oh yes, that’s a good point. I wonder if there’s a FOSS app that does this? I’d actually download this because there are many times I’d like to revisit an idea later.
