I take a lot of notes. The links I place in them often 404 just a few years later. I'm grateful for wayback machine. But it doesn't capture everything. Sometimes I'm just left with a link. And some links don't reveal any information about the source (e.g. a youtube link gives no info about what a removed video was). I've started adding a little more plain text to my notes to help protect against this (e.g. source: "3m20s into Bob's Rails tutorial on Webpacker") just in case it disappears I'll have something to latch on to.
