What do people's success stories with fancy PKMS looks like? I get writing stuff down, but I've never quite gotten the deep linking stuff. I tend to just be able to get away with some basic folders.
Same here. I get a massive amount of value out of writing things down at home and at work. I get comparably little value out of linking things together — beyond direct references at least. I think this may be a difference in how different people think and recall information.
Agreed. Particularly with running your notes through a text embedded model you can use semantic similarity and no longer need to manually link notes! This is something I'm excited to add in to my PKMS at some point.
