I personally wouldn’t recommend obsidian (mentioned at the end of the article), but still, I think the article is worth reading.

    “Philosophy” seems a bit grand for something that could be better described as a “tip”.

      No it really is a philosophy.

      There’s a vast difference in approach between software that uses documents and software that uses a database. A document based approach tends to result in work that lasts a long time. A database approach tends to have more features.

      It’s tempting to chase those features, but in my opinion it’s a mistake.

        A database approach tends to have more features.

        Document based solutions can have as many feature as the developer wants, the thing is that it’s harder to build document-based solutions than DB ones.
