## What it is
swyx's public 'second brain' - a personal Obsidian knowledge base of notes, resource lists, and cheatsheets published as a digital garden. It consolidates several of his older curated lists (launch, CLI, GPT-3, podcasts, devtools, and more) into one PARA-organized repository.

## Use cases
- find curated developer resources and learning lists
- browse swyx's notes on AI, devtools, and productivity
- learn how to organize a personal knowledge base with PARA
- discover cheatsheets for CLI tools and product launches
- explore a real-world example of an Obsidian digital garden
- look up GPT-3 and LLM resource collections

## When to choose
- you want curated, opinionated developer learning resources
- you're studying how experienced engineers organize personal notes
- you want a reference example of an Obsidian publish setup

## When to avoid
- you need software to install or run - this is just notes
- you need stable, well-organized content - notes are rearranged without notice
- you need clearly licensed content you can redistribute

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, markdown
- domain: developer-tools, awesome-lists, tutorials
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: second-brain, obsidian, digital-garden, personal-notes, knowledge-base, para-method, cheatsheets
