Tags

Decided not to use jekyll category|categories as its treated the same as tags but jekyll uses category in its url which I overrode anyways. And I think collections fits the bill.

Primarily tagging by language and whatever I might need to find things again

  • coding lanaguge, i.e. javascript, shell, python etcetera
  • coding framework i.e. React, Spring Boot, Xcode

Some other tags I've used before

  • technology
  • architecture
  • programming (engineering)
  • personal (musings)
  • business
  • management
  • career
  • books
  • reviews
  • tools
  • framework

Book Review tags

A bit more comprehensive and aligned with the 'shelves' in goodreads

Primary shelf IN (read, reading, want to read, did not finish)

Book tags (might be some overlap from above)

  • pyschology
  • personal-development
  • fantasy
  • business (what a business is)
  • management (what it takes to run a business)
  • leadership (what it takes to be a leader)
  • biography (usually covers a primary person)
  • history (usually covers events)
  • non-fiction
  • fiction
