Now, it's all under the notebook umbrella. Seems to be appropriate as it is just my notes after all. I also updated some notes from there. I didn't keep track of what it is this time. Something about more learning notes extracted from my "Learning how to learn" course notes and then some. Lack of time and hurriness just makes it difficult to track but it should be under version control already.

Tradeoffs lock yourself in a position
- each options have its advantages and disadvantages
- Every copy of the techniques is personalized; choose what you're comfortable with or make a Deliberate practice with setting a new level (or a new perspective)
-
examples:
- learning a new skill versus improving your specialization at one time
- using one tool versus another locking yourself inside of the tool — e.g., Emacs versus Vim versus Visual Studio Code
- using the bare minimal of a feature set versus using it to the full potential
-
no matter what, you're locking yourself in a position but both have risks
- learning a new skill can make for a better skill set and it makes for a little interleaving while digging deeper into a specialization can make in-depth knowledge; both have risks: vulnerability to changes rendering the time you spent for a specialization to be nearly useless, not making yourself more attractive to the job market with more specialized skills
- locking oneself to the text editor can mean taking advantage of the already existing ecosystem of the text editors
- using the bare minimum of a feature set prevents you to do other things but it also minimizes the problems for future migrations to other tools
- that said, balancing tradeoffs is a matter of creativity to suit your ideal workflow with the things you have; just be beware of going into overanalyzing as Unnecessary optimizations cripple progress
