Digital Gardening
Digital gardening is the practice of cultivating ideas in public, allowing them to grow and evolve over time. Unlike traditional blogging, digital gardens embrace imperfection and continuous refinement.
Core Principles
- Learning in public: Share thoughts as they develop
- Continuous growth: Notes evolve from seeds to evergreen content
- Non-linear exploration: Create connections, not chronologies
- Imperfection welcomed: Published doesn't mean finished
My Approach
I treat this space as a living collection of interconnected ideas. Some notes are mature and well-developed, while others are just sprouting. That's the beauty of it—you get to see knowledge in various stages of growth.
