What actually works for learning words, comparisons between tools, and what AI changes.

Nico writes about how words are actually learned: study methods, comparisons between tools, spaced repetition, and what AI writing tools change and what they do not.

He studied computer engineering in Mindanao and spent eight years in software testing and technical writing, learning his English from specifications. He once built a vocabulary system, measured it properly, found that being tested on a word did nearly all the work, and deleted the rest.

He still asks the same question of every method: what is the simplest version, and is the complicated part doing anything?
