I used to be against apps and gadgets that attempt to replace paper, but that changed when I started using Remarkable. Although it requires charging, is heavier than paper, and takes about 10 seconds to boot up, its ability to undo actions and seamlessly screencast with my coworkers more than compensates for these drawbacks.
The title is a bit misleading since the article is about using a paper notepad.
Honestly it's so poorly written it's ambiguous as to whether the article refers to "notepad" the program or a physical notepad. The earlier sections talk about compiling often, notepad lacking fancy IDE features, etc. This whole article reads like an AI generated attempt to advertise the Amazon links at the bottom of the page.
Was this even written by a human? The connections and misconnections seem like they could only have been made by some dozey AI. Physical notepads, and Notepad, the old Windows stalwart. It seems very sus. Now ask would using Crystals make you a better developer? Juxtapose some new-age thinking about the harmony of lattice structures with a Ruby derived language. Could be a fun read.
+100 on the amazon links.
I'm 90% sure this was at least partially written by GPT. Idk if it's for the headings, that flourished way of speaking, or the general vibe after using it for so long; but it definitely looks like it
lol. I'm 100% sure that 90% of it was written by GPT.
