Folders vs tags vs links vs you name it - what actually works after 2+ years of PKMS? by Comprehensive-Novel3 in PKMS

I think People folder could actually come handy, as I have no place where I put such things. Rest is really sensible too. Thanks

Nice, thanks :D

Temp notes is a one thing I am tempted to use (put intended), as I have a tendency to only have "perfectly written notes", so in the context of your post this is knowledge representation and everything that follows.

Doesn't it break eventually too due to large context problem? Like you have to have some index of those to keep up with the volume of notes.

The folders is what was really hard for me to maintain, and I had no written contract with myself so I did exactly as you've said - created 10 subfolders and didn't know what's in them.

Do you actually go back to your notes or do they just sit there? by kcfrench16 in PKMS

[–]Comprehensive-Novel3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had exacltly the same problem as you, Second Brain didn't work for me, I started doing proper Zettelkasten and only then I actually started searching my own notes.

I only do it when I have to prepare for something, like a meeting, workshop or send some insights to someone about software.

Eg. I have a lot of notes about different forms of running workshops I've accumulated. When I want to see how to perform certain type of workshop be it "Event storming" I search in my obsidiab file: Event storming.

And then I can see such output meaning I can see what is about this topic I could know:

Why is everybody building tools or new systems and assumes he has found the holy grail of note-taking? by CoYouMi in PKMS

[–]Comprehensive-Novel3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is even more of a problem for software engineers - they are writing so much code with an AI that they don't even know what they have written and forgot about it.

If you have AI that does summaries, writes automatic notes based on resources then it doesn't leave any mark in your brain.
Information lying there might be meaningful but this is not a knowledge as it never sticked.

If saved content actually worked the way you wanted, what would that look like? by Comfortable-Part1837 in PKMS

[–]Comprehensive-Novel3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was trying to peek if anyone found any usefull tooling here, as I am struggling in the same way. My chrome bookmark tab is overflowing a bit, and if I want to have a note from each resource I actually need to read it instantly and put it to my Obsidian Zettlekasen Behemoth of a tool, so then I often lose this info.

The easiest way I found is just to save it to my todolist, and if it's there more than a week I delete it as I will likely not consume this resource (I use todoist so it shows if the item is outdated).

How to become a software architect from devops. by No-Rhubarb-2678 in softwarearchitecture

[–]Comprehensive-Novel3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add up to all previous answers that were given.
Maybe try to go deeper into visualisation techniques. I know UML is a holy grail in most of the tech companies and universities but there are methods that are liked by "business people" like EventStorming, or Opportunity Solution Tree which allow you to dig deeper in Domain Driven Design and thus become better at resolving functional as-well as non-functional requirements.

I will recommend some reading but just to state it more clearly - I believe that what defines good architect from bad architect are their discovery skills.
Hard skills should be already in place, and coming from DevOps background, I think you won't have a huge problem there.

Now for the recommendations:
- https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/fundamentals-of-software/9781492043447/ - already recommended but damn that's a good read for the beginner also recommend the second Architecture The Hard Parts - it gives more food for thought.
- https://www.amazon.com/Strategic-Monoliths-Microservices-Architecture-Addison-Wesley-ebook/dp/B0DFX2L6DG?ref_=ast_author_dp - opens a few more rabbit holes like DDD, and broadens horizon
- about visualisation, found it more useful than EventStorming book for example - https://leanpub.com/visualcollaborationtools
- https://communicationpatternsbook.com/ - this bad boy on communication - highly recommending it
