# yeah this is just a digital hoarding flex but that's the whole point right writing notes for oneself to read later hundreds and thousands of them "look guys I'm so interesting give me attention" one might as well use a text file but structuring it for later query changes everything to stop thinking in documents and start thinking in connections go on tag everything up front build that wiki map from the start its a pain but they say it pays off then you can just ask it equally unimportant questions "what did i research about project x" "pull all notes related to subject y and topic z" apparently having a system that maintains itself is key linting old data updating tags and pruning dead links a digital anorak hoarder's closet where the value isn't in storing the info its in being able to instantly surface the right piece exactly when you need it it acts like a true second brain - that secretly hates you offloads memorization so you can focus on the unthinking apparently saves so much time digging through old crap the setup is the hardest part but once its running its seamless you just feed it and it organizes organizes crucial for managing complex projects or just forgetting where you put that one brilliant idea some highly recommend putting in the initial work its a game changer for real tough at first but worth it honest // republic of bob
