digital garden
- A cross between a personal webpage, blog, and second brain.
- The purported purpose of a digital garden, over a blog, is that ideas aren't meant to be fixed in time. Things change: the state of the world, my knowledge, my opinions. Therefore, instead of formulating thoughts as posts--a chronologically sorted collection of permanent footprints on the internet--it makes more sense to think of them as "plants" to be "tended to".
- The real reason though (for me) is to get myself to actually write, since it feels much lower stakes knowing that I can go back and edit things later--that everything is in a perpetual beta.
