A simple yet effective implementation of the Zettelkasten note-taking method is explored, emphasizing the importance of linking notes to emulate the brain's natural thought process. This approach, inspired by the Zen of Python's principle that simplicity is better than complexity, allows for adding, searching, and linking notes using basic Unix command-line tools. Despite initial temptations to over-engineer a solution with technology like Django or FastAPI, the author finds value in starting with a straightforward system, highlighting the transformative potential of Zettelkasten for deeper learning and better note organization. The author also mentions creating a separate repository for code tips and using tags for note linking, which facilitates a more organized and reflective learning process.
