Meta-question: how do you keep track of these? Every now and then I come upon something and I think "Oh, I should definitely re-read this!". But then, eventually, I end up forgetting about it. Are these just things that often come up and re-read them because you know they're worth it, or do you actively keep track of them somehow?

Pocket! https://getpocket.com/ but, there's one more thing. Kindle Paperwhite ( because I bought that one ). Then mark every link with an specific tag, let's say `read`, then, go to https://www.crofflr.com/ and link Pocket so you receive an weekly ebook! Then enjoy!

I use Pocket, and after going through this thread my feed looks like this :P https://i.imgur.com/DOPpL0Z.png Though if you start using pocket you will inevitably end up with thousands of unread articles that you will "read later" which might be worse.

If you use Kindle you can use https://www.crofflr.com/

I find myself going back to "The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode and Character Sets (No Excuses!)" by Joel Spolsky.

It's the basics that I forget often...
