I mainly reply to Ask HN about topics I know a couple of things about, or laying out something for someone having trouble with a situation I've been through. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29213383 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29213383 When there's something I will need, I'll just add it to TaskWarrior with the appropriate tags. If it's a video, I'll add a +watch. If it's a book, I'll add a +read +book. If it's an article, it's +read. It becomes trivial to list my tasks and have an idea about what I intended to do about it. task +book task +watch Will give me a list of books, or a list of videos and I'll decide which. I also have projects. For instance, I have a project in TaskWarrior named after the product we're building, https://iko.ai https://iko.ai, and if there's anything I read, watch or learn that is relevant to that project, I'll add it there. I annotate things, add remarks, etc. This was the seed for the knowledge base of our entire company, mind you. I just exported it and it became the company's knowledge base that was augmented. I also note down things that I would have wanted to do if we had started all over again or if we were to build another product. Ever notice people's obsession on distribution and validation ? Yeah, there's a reason they obsess about it. I add various playbooks on the technical side as well, such as instrumentation, monitoring, analytics. I want everyone on the team to know how to build a product and a company so of something happens to me, nothing happens to the company. I tend to optimize for the ability to die without impacting the team beyond nostalgia.
