For technical things where I'm a newbie, I'm trying to learn-in-public [1]. I write a TIL usually at the end of the day, it typically goes quickly.

In those cases where the matter is private (maybe 1/4 of all), I attempt to document it in company's knowledge base or at least share it in the company chat.

All other things go to my personal Obsidian.

+1 on Obsidian I quite like the categorization on your site. Do you have a background in tech or are you coming from a different industry?

Love Obsidian as well, for about 1y now. I have a tech background, but typescript and aws serverless were new to me, so I decided to learn-in-public. Regarding categorization (and design), I was inspired by Julia's web: https://jvns.ca/
