They say that you're an expert in something when you can clearly explain it to others. The "throwaway notebook" strategy is, in my opinion, a great way to quickly and safely test (and refine) how much of an expert you are about the idea for your new project, at any level of granularity you care to attack it.
- hga 15y agoAll very true (although I have a "scary" memory from my paternal grandmother that lets me remember just about anything I can slot into a framework/taxonomy/whatever). But I always find myself going back tot he notebooks once or twice to refresh myself on one detail, look up a particular incantation, whatever. It's nice to have them in reserve for that.
