I've seen a software thingy that makes the first couple letters of words bold, which allows me to read at a normal speed. But it costs something I don't want to pay, and I'm skeptical it can apply to things I find all over the internet.

I actually think being a slow reader has benefitted me. I'm forced to be more meditative with texts, which I think yields more of the meaning the author intended. Several times, I've asked people what a book they're reading is about and they've actually said they don't know, or can't remember what they just read. So weird... Seems like a waste of time, then.

I checked out Go for a little while after some previous conversations with you, and I liked it. It was much easier to get into and quickly start doing things than C++, and especially Rust, which I officially hate. I ought to restart that little project... But its also hard not going into C++ for the simple fact that people doing things I like, such as electronics, overwhelmingly use C++. I don't really learn at all without direct and physical application - if I get into coding, I **_must_** focus on electronics - I would have no choice, because without the physical interaction, I simply don't learn.
