Comment on Ask HN: How do you synthesize books that you read?parent

Comments

I agree with basically everything you are saying, except I think a sprinkle of rote memorization can go a long way in some domains. Whenever I read a math book, memorizing definitions and some key theorems helps me apply them in problems. With programming, however, I tend to do zero rote memorization.
