Focus on decisions, not tasks

What's even more ironic is that it's the most profound book about technical writing that I have yet found in my 12-year career.

It also inspired me to deep-dive into how the pages of my docs site relate to each other, which yielded some useful insights: https://technicalwriting.dev/data/intertwingularity.html

(Baker's book led me to Too Big To Know, which in turn led me to the concept of intertwingularity)

Hi. I wrote Too Big to Know, and your post intertwingled me with this thread, these books, and you.

(Note: I'm taking Google Alerts & Ego Salve as an ironic agent of Ted Nelson's concept of intertwingularity.)

Oh wow, cool! Thanks for writing the book and nice to meet you. Maybe it's time for Too Big To Know 2.0 given how GenAI is changing the data / information / knowledge / wisdom landscape so much? P.S. I am referencing your concept of networked knowledge in an upcoming conference presentation with my fellow technical writers.
