I think you're quoting the Sci Fi author - Ken Liu from his article in some major news outlet.

I related with that analogy too, infact that whole piece is worth reading. I can't seem to find it's link though!

It's because you've mixed him up with Ted Chiang - the article in question is Why A.I. Isn’t Going to Make Art [1]

I came across KOReader when I was trying to jailbreak my kindle. It's UI looked great on e-ink screen. And it handled almost all ebook formats properly.

Lately, I've used it on Android, and UI which is more suited for e-ink screens, look not so polished on phones, but that's just nitpicking. It's fully usable and keeps adding support for new platforms.

It really shines on e-ink Android readers such as the tablets Boox makes. I almost exclusively use it on my Boox because the built-in reading app is terrible.

Recently, I've been feeling as in Java is used mostly by 'legacy' companies and to work on more cutting-edge tech I learnt Go and have been exploring opportunities in it too. I sometimes tinker with open source codes and read of tech in my free time.

I found Adam Mastroianni's blog through a HN post titled "How to debog Yourself". Unlike another pop-sci articles, this one had actual depth and enjoyed reading it.

Since then, I've read and digested most of his posts and comments. He usually writes about human behavior, not really offering the solutions, but the reasons.

He is the one author I've screenshot-ed most in 2024. I'd recommend starting with this post:
