Why Digital Gardens

Evergreen
#meta #digital-gardens

[This is a most created by my AI coding assistant to serve as a placeholder. But, I like it and will leave it here for now.]

Traditional blogs are newspapers. Reverse-chronological. Finished pieces. Published and done.

Digital gardens are different. They’re more like… actual gardens. Ideas get planted as seedlings-and-growth, tended over time, and allowed to grow sideways into unexpected connections.

The thing I love about this approach:

  1. Permission to be unfinished. Not everything needs to be polished. Some of the most interesting ideas are half-formed.

  2. Connections surface over time. When you build in public, patterns emerge that you couldn’t have planned.

  3. No pressure for freshness. A great thought from 2019 is just as valuable as one from today.

This garden exists because I wanted a place where thoughts could go off on weird tangents - and that’s where the interesting stuff lives.
