This is my writeup of all the talks I saw at Strangeloop, written on the train ride back, while the talks were still fresh in my mind. Now that all the talks are online I can share it. This should have gone up like a month ago but I was busy and then sick. Enjoy!

Ever since I realized how beautifully simple and effective of a technology RSS is, I’ve been… well, I’ve been accumulating articles to read later on Pocket. This may the inevitable consequence of a hectic life, but I also want to blame myself for choosing to use Pocket a little bit. While having an easily accessible archive of good, already consumed web content makes sense (and would make even more sense if I wasn’t relying on Pocket’s servers and proprietary app to keep it going), my “Pocket saves” mostly consist of stuff that hasn’t been read yet, and that probably won’t even be opened as long as it stays on Pocket. Not only do I find myself much more prone to read on paper or on my e-reader, but the initially pretty good reading experience on Pocket has been steadily declining for the past few years, making it very unlikely for me to read anything that takes longer than five minutes on it. Also, Pocket is (mostly) LIFO, meaning that things that doesn’t get read almost immediately is bound to be forever forgotten in its depths.
