Developer workflows - Highlight naming standards in admin portals, track API endpoints in docs, spot deprecated methods

Monitoring & logs - Mark error levels (ERROR, WARN, INFO), status codes, or specific service names

Documentation - Track function names, parameters, and code patterns as you read technical docs

Reading reviews - Highlight "broke", "defective", "love it" and scan 100+ reviews in seconds

Research & study - Track key concepts across Wikipedia, articles, and documentation

Job hunting - Spot "required", "remote", and deal-breakers at a glance
