(highlight:: Digital Gardens are like Continuous Delivery in Software
Summary:
CICD is a way of reframing the software development lifecycle.
It's a continuous cycle that allows for changing requirements and a faster pace. Digital gardens and continuous note-taking are similar, where ideas are constantly evolving and being updated.

So in tech, CICD or continuous integration, continuous delivery is kind of a way of reframing the software development lifecycle. It used to be that when you build software, you start with the planning, so the requirements and then it gets developed and then it gets tested and then it gets deployed. And it's really very linear. But because of changing requirements and the faster pace that we're expected to keep up with, that kind of evolved into a more agile way of thinking where it's just a continuous cycle. So those things do still occur, but the phases are less rigid and it kind of flows into each other. You don't stop building software after you deploy it. You're still testing. You're still putting out patches and you're still tweaking requirements. Maybe you got them wrong and it all feeds back into the next cycle. So I think that digital gardens is kind of like continuous note taking where we used to think that it's like, oh, this is the ideation process, then you structure it or outline it, then You flesh it out, then you hit publish and it's done. I don't like to think of it that way because I'm wrong frequently and I would hate to put myself at that standard where I feel like I can't even publish anything because I'm going to be wrong As soon as I publish it. So I kind of just prefer to say, these are my notes. It's all a work in progress and I'm going to update them as I learn more or as I find the time.)

(highlight:: Learning in Public Creates a Feedback Loop for Your Personal Growth and Development
Summary:
"I don't hoard notes. I put them out there to test ideas and get feedback. It's like applying agile thinking to every aspect of my life."
Transcript:
Speaker 1
I don't like to take notes and then hoard them. I feel like I need to get them out there. And that's how you can really test an idea by putting it out there and then seeing what other people think. And maybe you get initial feedback right away that makes you rethink everything, but you wouldn't have gotten that if you were just hoarding your notes.
Speaker 2
It's opening up your work to feedback loops and doing the agile thing with your thinking. Yeah.
Speaker 1
And I try to apply that with every aspect of my life. I do that at work. So why shouldn't I do that for play? Why shouldn't I do that for personal stuff? I mean, I take notes on people. I take notes on random things that I read and watch. I take notes on anything that matters to me.)
