This is one of the great writeup!

In case you want to listen it instead of reading it like me, you can do so by following command, it creates a audio file (named greatwork) which you can play:

wget -qO- http://paulgraham.com/greatwork.html | sed -e '/<script/,/<\/script>/d' -e 's/<[^>]*>//g; s/\&nbsp\;/ /g; s/\&amp\;/\&/g; s/\&lt\;/</g; s/\&gt\;/>/g' | say --progress -o greatwork

please note, this is tested on macOS only.

If you’re looking for something that scales this feature, you might love Matter (https://hq.getmatter.com/). It has instant article text-to-speech via a simple chrome extension & a web + iOS app - along with %-read tracking, ability to start playing audio from any word, etc.

thanks for sharing, Matter looks promising I'll give it a try.
