At least for me—and most of the people I know—we got a garbage dump full of crufty links and pieces of text we hardly ever revisit.
For me, some stuff fell into disrepair when I realized no one else was going to read it or add to it, which I think is mostly due to a bad model for shared use, but a lot of other stuff kept growing and turned out to be really transformative. I’ve continued using it as a very good, very long todo list, a pensieve to relinquish and defer burdensome thoughts into, to sort every possible idea I could be pursuing and to prioritize the one currently most important thing.
Some other pages that’ve remained active over the years:
recipes
tasteweb engineering notes, pitch concepts
UFO stuff (some interesting evidence, but mostly debunkings). I guess this could add up to a post eventually.
“people”, a list of various things to talk about with people next time we’re in a room together, if we ever are. The uncertainty, that we may not meet, is the reason I think it’s important to externalize these thoughts.
