yeah, i read fast, same as i type fast. i recognise text without really reading it. i wish it had given me some benefit in my life but it helps a lot when coding, and the reason why i love reading Go code so much and hate almost all other languages is because i can scroll screenfulls of a source code file and pick out some specific kind of code areas just by a glance and catching the shape of it. if you were interested in learning to read faster, the key has to do with learning to recognise the shapes of the words. probably some kind of thing where it flashes the text for like 10ms and then you type what you saw. i just intuitively learned how to do it. i read about 3x or maybe 4x faster than normal speech, about 300wpm or so.

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.
