IMO this is the real reason why they're pushing hard towards this: However, it's also worth considering that making the web address less important, as this feature does, benefits Google as a company. Google's goal with Ac

Yes. Inconsolata is really good, as is Consolas, and both have been two of my favorite fonts. But JetBrains Mono has clicked in my brain like no other font. It's just so pleasing to read, especially on a 4K monitor. On the terminal, my

Notion reminds me of Sharepoint. Too flexible and too generic, with absolutely zero opinion about differentiating content or workflow strategies or UX. Those kind of tools are usually optimized for prolific creation, but not for meaningful,

Spot on advice. Teach concepts by way of a goal/example first, then after the learner achieves the desired outcome, introduce the formal concept; it'll get etched in their memory. I touched upon this before in another comment: ht
