I seek quality. That's why I read and contribute to Hacker News.

One can seek and live a life of quality experiences with focus and depth or experience infinite random "hits" that require tedious curation to have any meaning. Out of today's "haul" of HN articles, I saved 30 worth some (perish the thought) serious review. (IMO, relying on AI is like trusting a liar who will soon flood answers with ads. Soon.)

To me, it's like a good book versus grabbing internet bytes. A book has four "Cs" A good one is

1. Connected. - One chapter follows another logically, not going off the rails.

2. Coherent. - All chapters reinforce each other, and don't contradict.

3. Consistent. - Chapters are in the same voice, and level.

4. Complete. - There are no gaps, or necessary stitching to be done.

Compendia excepted, but they are usually edited.

E-Books can be updated (but aren't)
