Ask HN: Do you also feel you retain nothing after reading a technical book?
Lately, I have been trying to follow the habit of reading a lot, be it books, articles or blog posts on the subjects I would like to improve myself in.
That said, the more I read, the more I get this awful feeling of not memorizing anything and creating a mess in my head.
I try to use some simple tricks like explaining a concept to another person or even to myself, but that doesn't seem to help a lot.
What are your tricks and methods to maximize the mental output of technical literature?
