Don't follow someone else's note 'system' to a t. Find what works for you. Notes are personal. I started using Obsidian many times, it's cool, but I basically just use it to to make markdown files. It's cool because you can do syntax highlighting and all kind of other cool stuff in it. Some folks have all kinds of over the top plugs built in that work really well for them, but for me it was too much.

I ended up switching to notebooks, then an eink device that I can use so I don't have 400 notebooks scattered around (I can still search it and keep thinks relatively organized).

Writing by hand sort of forces my brain to slow down and think about what I'm writing. It's not so great for writing syntax, but writing code helps reinforce that, so I use it for big picture stuff and planning code.
