There is a book called “How to talk about books you haven’t read” by Pierre Bayard. It is exactly about this. And the writer is a also a litt prof. Really interesting, but I also feel that reading books is different from eating at a restaurant in a very unquantifiable way. I don’t know.

This book helped me be okay with not finishing a book. Another way I put it is that the book is there to serve me, not me to serve the book.

I am thinking of a future when every piece of code can be traced back to a common ancestor because everyone is using a tool like copilot and there is no identifying signature. De-anonymization is only going to become more difficult.
