I do a similar thing at https://blog.kowalczyk.info/ (under "My external brain"), e.g. section on programming: https://blog.kowalczyk.info/article/d61b4f94b10d4d808d3d238a... I build a custom toolchain to generate it. All the content is stored in Notion (which is the fastest way I found to write and edit content). I wrote a Go program ( https://github.com/kjk/blog ) to convert that to html and deploy as a static site…

Interesting! What is Notion?

The more things you try and do, participate in, and understand, the shallower your knowledge will be of any one of those things.

However wordly wisdom can help you gain better models to process reality through.

Looks like it's this: https://www.notion.so/

It wasn't clear to me how the data was exported, but it seems the author built his own library: https://blog.kowalczyk.info/article/88aee8f43620471aa9dbcad2...

I simply use a github repository but instead of being "everything I know" is kind of "everything I'm (actively) learning and can't find (minimalistic compiled) elsewhere". I have less will to document stuff that I already know or stuff that is easy to find in a palatable form.

Yes, but on the other side there is a chance to gain knowledge on a higher level, because of comparing different things and finding the common patterns. But this only really works well when those things are similar enough to have common patterns.

And from experience I think it's true that at some point one should move from being a jack of all trades to become a master of some things. But as big as the world has become today, the road to this has become even longer. I think today it's not so unusual anymore to search some years or longer for your calling to master.

https://nathanwailes.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MTOVT/overvie... This is my friend's wiki which also deserves some attention I think.

I hope he has that information backed up locally. It scares me when people invest so much time and effort into contributing to a closed platform.

Its interesting to see how people reinvent this conept continually. This is cool and certainly useful for slices of knowledge, but I think sadly technology is still not at a point where this would be universally feasible.

Links and text is lightweight and searchable but rather fragile (because of external dependencies) and incomplete. I use a filesystem for this purpose, but that would be still cubersome to effectively share - I wish we'de be at a point where hundreds of gigabytes/mixed form of media are easier and faster to sync and manage.

I've had great luck using notion to start developing a personal wiki, seems like we're going to see more of Notion -> JAMStack work in the near future.
