Re:Ask HN: Best books under 200 pages for developers? by scruple on Saturday May 30, 2020 @07:24PM (#23365748)
I've recently taken to listening to almost everything spoken at 1.5-1.75x speeds. Content creators on YouTube have taken to speaking v e r y slowly, adding a lot of useless fluff / filler, or both. I see it in almost every video that I watch today. It seems like everyone is chasing that magic 10 minute mark with videos containing 2 minutes of actual content.

The side effect being that I am able to track things much better now at that speed and I can bang through podcasts much easier now that I've acclimated to the faster speeds. Really recommend this to anyone who also listens to a lot of podcasts or audio books, it's a good hack to get more content in.
