what's the problem with it? Isn't a good metric going to be numeric, kinda of necessity?...also since these are his personal notes, shouldn't we assume the "you" there means himself? So who's he keeping outside the gate?
- meheleventyone 6y agoI guess the biggest criticism is it promotes quantity over quality. Similar to counting lines of code or pages of a book written. Although I think it’s safe to assume in this case there is some implicit notion of minimum quality to consider a note “written”.
- branweb 6y agoah i see that and yeah after reviewing the concept of evergreen notes, I think your assumption is a safe one ...though the original post (pre-edit) was something like "oy using volume of notes written as a gatekeeper for knowledge work", which seems like a slightly different criticism of the statement.
- meheleventyone 6y agoI didn’t see the pre-edit version so did wonder where the gate keeping bit came from. That sort of uncharitable take is why I’d never put my notes online. I’d find it extremely stressful.
