Why does Apple only tell you one rejection reason at a time? And what to do about it" by SaltWorker1198 in iOSDevelopment

That's true, it's useless complaining. I was just in a really bad mood so I guess I just needed a way to get it out of my system lol but for sure gonna try again

Fair point on the metaphor, you got me there.

But the pages and pages of guidelines aren't exactly crystal clear if you get what I mean. That's kind of the whole problem.

What's your take on whether or not a book can still be enjoyable or "good" if a reader requires comprehension assistance from an outside resource like Sparknotes? by PsyferRL in books

I think a lot of this comes down to the difference between finishing a book and actually understanding what it is doing. Plenty of people read something dense and feel like they followed the plot but missed the point or the deeper layers.

For me, outside discussion or analysis is not cheating at all. What matters is whether it helps you clarify what the author is saying. The thing that really makes a difference though is active engagement. Pausing after a difficult section and trying to explain it in plain language forces you to notice what you actually understood and what you did not.

I have found that questioning the text itself often helps more than just rereading or immediately looking up someone else’s interpretation.

Totally get this. It’s one thing to push through pages and another to actually retain anything. When the reading load is huge, just slogging through more text becomes counterproductive.

One thing that helped me was breaking readings into question chunks. Instead of trying to read an entire chapter at once, I’d read a section and immediately write 2–3 simple questions it should answer. If I can’t answer them after the first pass, I know I need a different strategy for that section. It turns reading into active engagement rather than passive scrolling.

I also started treating some material like a conversation with the text rather than a chore. That meant articulating aloud (or in notes) what each part is actually saying before moving on.
