Sometimes I learn how to do something quickly for work and don't have time to turn what I've learned into “proper" notes. Enter the humble devlog.

A devlog is the minimum note I'll keep while I'm doing something technical, and it's usually just a section in my daily note. It's a running log of everything I've tried, including snippets of code/terminal commands. Here's me trying to consolidate devlogs from when I learned how to deploy Loki on k8s in GCP via Helm.

/me blinks: "my eyes are hurting!"

Good practice. I do the same. I dump all in a generic "knowledge base"...

... but with more pleasant theme when previewing ;-P

@gbraad Ha! I'm using a theme that changes daily notes themes so that I can more easily distinguish between them. I like the novelty!
@nicole what plugin is adding the numbers to your links (I'm assuming it's the number of notes that link to the same file?)
@Sirs0ri Yup, that's right! It's @TfTHacker 's Strange New Worlds plugin.
@nicole @TfTHacker thanks! I'll have to check that out, looks super useful!
@Sirs0ri @TfTHacker It is! If you hover over it, it shows you all the notes that link to that note. The number is also a good visual indicator of which notes I should probably spend some time cultivating a bit more.
@nicole I'm so happy you are still using SNW. Any performance issues?
@TfTHacker No, it’s gotten so much better! Kudos to you!
