@masukomi oh I remember that poem! Yeah I have similar thoughts about Perl, especially now-ish when people only seem to remember its reputation for quickies.

Folks out there still saying — in tutorial material! — that Perl is primarily used for CGI.

Building up the key thoughts from the reading notes. Actually trying some form of honest-to-goodness evergreen notes.

I’d be doing this a little quicker, but I got other stuff to do today. Plus I’m figuring out what this workflow looks like for me in #Heptabase.

The previous whiteboard, with some cards for key thoughts expanded and filled with the related notes. A sidebar shows an expanded view of the currently selected card.

The filtered card library view of all this is pretty cool, but has me thinking about what all this would look like in Capacities. I’d lose the whiteboard, but I’d have some great collection views.

Heptabase card library filtered to cards with the ‘rust-lang’ tag

@banjofox2 nope! It’s just the hobby language of the week for me.

@ElectricDryad Oh I’m so glad it’s working for you! I hope they’re doing well. It’s a two person team, and Tana has sucked up a lot of air in the room.

Mostly by attracting Roam users, who are notoriously hyperbolic about their preferred tools.
