Slow Horses contains absolutely none of the complexity of Le Carre. They're in the same genre, but are not comparable.

The same is true when you're experienced -- programmers often say that programming is easy, which is because _syntax_ is often easy. It's the mechanics of how everything fits together that is difficult, and is often overlooked as a concept.
1. Personal knowledge bases seem to be high friction (have to manually add information and requires consistency).
2. Google is leaky, you search for something, open a bunch of tabs, and then probably just close them all. What happens when you need that info again?
I was thinking that a dashboard built on top of Google search would be helpful. Something that keeps a note of what content is related to the search I made, and keeps a record / makes it easy to retrieve again later.
(Yes I know the manual effort involved in documenting what you learn is beneficial).
