> wat object can quickly inspect things by using the division operator (to avoid typing parentheses). A short, no-parentheses syntax wat / object is equivalent to wat(object).

Replacing pen and paper is hard but I use Google Keep quite a bit for saving links and small notes. I like Keep because:
* No need to create accounts on multiple websites
* Accessible from web and phone
* Clean interface
* Allows checklists, drawings, images and has OCR

Works surprisingly well. Just one issue, since I just graduated, I do not have a whole lot of work experience so the generated resume looks empty. It would be awesome if you could use the information in the projects section as well and create a projects section.
