And that mentality right there is the number 1 reason why companies like
Microsoft make money with buggy software and the start ups on HN are mostly
all to do apps, productive apps, facebook apps, etc.

Nobody understands the "corporate", and yet there is a lot of money and
inefficiencies to fix there.

Just saying.

Ask HN: How do I consciously improve my reading and retention skills? - borncrusader
I&#x27;ve been a fairly voracious reader but over the last 4-5 years, I&#x27;ve noticed that I skim-read a lot (which has apparently become the norm - https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;commentisfree&#x2F;2018&#x2F;aug&#x2F;25&#x2F;skim-reading-new-normal-maryanne-wolf) thanks to technology. But over time I realize that I don&#x27;t pay that much attention to important pieces of information that need deeper and a more conscious effort in reading. As a result, I tend to not retain much of what I read unless I write it down.<p>So, how do I make a conscious effort in slowing down and reading so as to improve my retention.

The best way I personally have found to consciously ensure I am intaking the
information I am reading, and not just skimming it as you said varies between
nonfiction, and fiction.

 _Fiction:_ For fiction the best way I found is to either at the end of each
chapter, or pages (before you turn the page) is to stop for a bit and think
back as to what happened. This allows me to retain what I am reading. I also
find this is very interesting method to
be an awesome way to got about getting hired, some occupation 
 may not react well to such' guerrilla' tactic.
