These are the working notes of Joseph Ravenwolfe (@jravenwolfe) . All notes should be accessible and traversable from this Master Note which are organized and styled in the vein of Andy Matuschak's Note System.
Below is a running list of the current things at the top of mind that I'm writing about.
Matuschak, A. (2020). Andy's working notes
Hi! I’m Andy Matuschak. You’ve stumbled upon my working notes. They’re kind of strange, so some context might help.
These notes are mostly written for myself: they’re roughly my thinking environment (Evergreen note-writing as fundamental unit of knowledge work). But I’m sharing them publicly as an experiment (Work with the garage door up). If a note seems confusing or under-explained, it’s probably because I didn’t write it for you! Sorry—that’s sort of an essential tension of this experiment.
For now, there’s no index or navigational aids: you’ll need to follow a link to some starting point.
A note on attribution: much of what I’m writing about here concerns my research collaboration with Michael Nielsen, and these note practices themselves are an active object of our research. You should consider Michael to be a coauthor on much of what’s here, but blame for the unpolished roughness should land squarely on my shoulders.*
If you think this note resonated, be it positive or negative, send me a direct message on Twitter or an email and we can talk.
