hrm. Instead of planning and game design I think I’m going to spend today (and tomorrow?) on some learning. Game Dev Field Guide Episodes + Nystrom’s Patterns #GameDev #IndieDev #Learning #Zettelkasten

I discovered the Carolyn Bessette of knowledge systems.

Clean lines.
No excess.
Nothing performative.

Just cards and ideas that connect.

My own kind of "Love Story."

"A PKM isn't about storing information. It is a personal architecture aimed at helping you to think and remember."

Not a note store. A thinking tool. www.ctnet.co.uk/pkm-cognitiv... #PKM #Zettelkasten

#zettelkasten for #swiftlang programmers -- this is a note from 2016 about copy-on-write in Swift, and it has an incomplete Swift 3 example. Swift 3→4 was a painful migration, but we're at Swift 6 now! So time to select that code and press 'delete' and replace it with something better.

Five years of Zettelkasten has convinced me: a PKM system isn't just for storing ideas — it can actively protect how you think in an AI world. Final post in my series: www.ctnet.co.uk/pkm-cognitiv... #PKM #Zettelkasten #AI

Currently realizing I need to architect a personal AI OS. My "productivity stack" is just a chaotic pile of unrelated AI interactions held together by digital duct tape and sheer fucking willpower. #AI #Python #Zettelkasten

Anyone got any advice please? I am experimenting with Zettelkasten in Notion and have just downloaded Obsidian. Giving the Notion offering a go first. #Notion #Zettelkasten #Obsidian

I finally sat down and was like "OK, time to recommit to my Zettelkasten practice," and then I realized Zotero's update made it so that none of my citation keys work.

Anyone else in pain over this update?

When AI Becomes Your Zettelkasten’s Co-Pilot: How an Agent Changed My Knowledge Workflow – Mycelium of knowledge From Manual Craft to Assisted Flow

I used to spend time formatting notes and running scripts. Now an AI agent handles that while I focus on learning. buff.ly/qkTKqa0 #zettelkasten

Rewriting Notes Is Thinking Work, Not Maintenance • Zettelkasten Method Rewriting notes isn’t wasted effort or a mere maintenance task. It is itself part of writing-to-think, with the goal to improve clarity of thought. Separate this from writing-to-communicate to avoid self-censorship. These are different mental modes.

Sascha's latest post:

Reworking what you have is not wasted effort if it clarifies your thought.

New post by Sascha: The Friction Fallacy • #Zettelkasten Method https://zettelkasten.de/posts/the-friction-fallacy/

Some people talk about 'eufriction' in note-taking: friction that is beneficial.

While the inspiration, 'eustress' , has its benefits, any kind of friction in your knowledge base […]

When taking notes. You already have an editor open. You already write Markdown. If true, I have such a good blogpost for you. Not niche at all!

Ein #Zettelkasten ist keine Faktensammlung.

Mine are: category, then alphabetical by author, then in order of series/release... like the goddess intended.

In between the categories are horizontal books from those categories that I need to still put into my #zettelkasten. Mine's a working shelf.
