    This is a well-known effect, it does make a significant difference. People feel safer driving slower when the road has obstacles closeby or when it's curved. You can use this to sl…

    Some people talk slower than your natural listening speed. It's less like skimming and more like if some books used 36pt font and you normalized the size back down to a comfortable…

    I did this the other day in an old component that had been refactored several times. It's incredibly satisfying. IMO removing code is often more important than adding it because it…
