Taking Notes for Work With Obsidian

Summary

In this talk, I show why I think taking notes for work with Obsidian has not just helped me learn faster but improved my career working in tech as a Developer Advocate and performance engineer. I take notes continuously as a way to keep my skills relevant. This is a rehearsal of a presentation I gave at EuroSTAR 2023.

Highlights

o for example, I had literatureand I also had composition,
two things that were English related,but I still kept them in separate notebooks.Same thing with calculus and algebra.They were also static.These notes,and probably that's because they were analog,never changed.I never went back and added things or adjusted things.As I learned morethey were kind of just like a one and done thing.I wrote them and then I just go forward onto the notebook.
