Vlad's Roam Garden

👋 I'm Vlad Sitalo - the creator of Roam Garden. I like to build things and at times I wonder about:

What makes code readable? Can we define that objectively?

readability can be understood in computational terms

when you develop software you invent a language

What are the powerful applications of Spaced Repetition that we're not utilizing?

Spaced Repetition can be used to program attention

use multiple levels of processing information for learning & understanding

How do computational and design lenses mix?

design defines cognitive problems users need to solve

not stating your preferences clearly - imposes high computational costs on people you're communicating with

I feel like each self-respecting zettelkasten should bootstrap with a bunch of notes on how to take notes 😂. So you'll find a variety of meta evergreen notes throughout the garden 😉

How to find your path in the garden

Here's how navigation works:

What to look at

Follow some links above, take a look at graph, use a search bar if you are wondering if I wrote about some specific topic.

You can use make-public page's backlinks section as an index - every page in the garden has a link to it.

If you want to talk to me - you can do that via email, or Twitter 🙂
