Growing up in the 60s or 70s meant coming of age in a time of rotary phones, backyard adventures, station wagons, and a whole lot of independence.

A colleague recently asked how I find time to blog about technical writing after hours. The answer is surprisingly simple: I prioritize writing above other things. I could have posted that exchange on social media and called it a day, but there’s more nuance to that simple reply. Let me elaborate, it might be useful.

So somebody came to you (maybe it was your own mind, that traitor!) and said you need to think about cause. Maybe you are asking yourself how to remove friction or identify blockers that are disrupting your colleagues’ work. Maybe there is a DevEx pilot we said we would evaluate

How do you rediscover old notes in Obsidian? There are many ways, but here are a few techniques that are easy and effective.

I use Obsidian as my main notetaking app (among many other things it does for me). I try to implement Andy Matuschak’s ‘Evergreen Notes’ method when working through a particular concept in the literature. Often, this means linking notes together that haven’t been created yet.
