Frankly I think it's completely irrelevant for us developers: our field is evolving so fast that whatever you store now in your second brain will probably be obsolete by next year.
Basically it's like advocating for old school paper encyclopedia in the age of Google.
I fail to see what is so inefficient with a web search as a second brain: the content is always up to date and you have a chance of stumbling upon something that is better than what would be stored in your second brain.
And let's not forget about that maintaining a second brain is a real time sink.
The only plus side of a local second brain is that it's functional without an internet connection, but can you really write software in good conditions without an internet access (I sure can't)?
- pnt12 5y agoUnlike a paper encyclopedia, a second brain has *your* thoughts. You write down what is useful to you, and in a style that matches your comprehension. My "2nd brain" are mostly scattered notes and scripts: low effort but just medium reward. I'm looking to organize them better and get a high reward with moderate effort.
