> Our memory works in terms of concepts, not letters; the reason a 7 word passphrase is almost as easy to remember as a 7 character password

And yet we write things down because our memory is limited, and the notation we choose strikes a balance between packing meaning into glyph, and the speed at which your thoughts can translate into the mark, so you really have this exactly backwards: You have to memorize less if you can see more of it.

"The quality of the software is rarely the biggest impact on a business", is perhaps the most depressing thing I've ever heard anyone say about their job.

I'd like to think that my work is a bit more important than that, and worth any expense to make me more productive at it.
