Digital Garden

[…] publish your notes. In other words, create a so-called ‘digital garden’ or a personal website which shares your notes so that others can provide feedback.

Not surprisingly, this is something I (Scheper) do not advise for a number of reasons. In brief, when you publish your notes, you’re publishing Information. This is less useful to people than publishing Knowledge. With knowledge, you’ve contextualized and further processed that information. As a result your knowledge provides the reader with much more value than unprocessed information. In turn, if you do indeed receive feedback from such notes, the feedback will be misguided. To a large degree, it will be a waste of time, which is why I advise against it.
