Notes and stuff I'm posting publicly

Something to know ... I write a LOT of notes. These notes are meant to be useful for me to remember my processes perhaps years later when I have forgotten a step I took. That means these aren't short guides. Hopefully they will help another user with figuring out not just how to do ... but why it was done.


TMI:

Why do I (the author) need notes at this level?

Doesn't it take WAY too long?

... 20 years ago I'd have agreed that I'm taking way too long writing everything down.

... 10 years ago I would have wanted more notes but been too interested in getting things running to bother.

But today things are different. Why?

  • Watching both of my parents falling into dementia (father was a DBA and Unix toolchain coder who could barely use a web browser before he passed)
  • My 50+ year old brain slowing down

Also has something to do with having a career in Technical Marketing / Sales Engineering / Project Management. While I'm no longer working (medical spine stuff, which contributes to memory issues) I still prefer to make everything as documented as I can.
