Karpathy’s rule: a second brain dies of upkeep, not bad notes.
Saving is easy. Keeping 50 notes linked and current is the part nobody repeats. The graph rots while it still looks impressive.
So he gave that job to Claude. You pick sources and ask questions. It links, files, and updates every neighbor.
raw is yours, never edited. wiki belongs to the model. Not RAG. Your sources compile once and compound.
9 rules. Start with 10, not 10,000.
A pile sits. A second brain compounds.
I’m glad this is helping u mate
you’re clearly right
Claude self checks. That’s what the loop is for.
yep
