This digital garden is a place to collect and organize my thoughts. Some people refer to this as a “second brain,” but I barely have a firm grasp on my own meat-brain so I’d much rather think of this like a collection or reference database than have a whole other brain to worry about.

Ideally I’ll keep this updated and current as I cram more knowledge and information into my head, but we all know this is going to end up as sporadic bursts of info-dumping. The ultimate goal is to try to connect different pieces of knowledge and deepen my understanding of more complex topics.

This whole thing is powered by Quartz so shout out to Jacky Zhao. If you want to earn more about that, check out Jacky’s own digital garden.

Seeds are low-level concepts, ie something that is taken straight from a resource. These are like basic notes and serve as a growing point. More complex ideas will spring from them.

Saplings are extensions of seeds. They’re deeper knowledge, going into the nitty gritty for concepts laid out by seeds. Not every seed will have a sapling, and not every sapling comes from a seed. Sometimes multiple saplings come from one seed. You just never know

Fruit are the long-form learning moments. Fruit are the resulting connections and knowledge gained from the information laid out by seeds and saplings. These are usually essay-esque.

A good way to think about the three categories is that seeds are notecards, saplings are articles, and fruit are essays.
