More context is not the answer; memory management is

loses everything. And the thing is that we don't need necessarily to provide more and more and more context for a better research. You need a proper memory and context management, and ideally some personality with it, especially in my case when I do videos. So, what we did is that we decided to build a system with plain files, mostly markdown files, that we can leverage easily and that agents can leverage easily. I won't detail it very much here because Paul will talk about it in depth. And as I said, Paul has like 5,000 or something notes. I have just a few hundred, but that's just to say that we need to consider that we didn't start from nothing. We already both had some sort of large database. In my case, I made hundreds of videos and I take many notes. So, I still need to leverage these years of content that I already made and tons of meetings that I have with my team, with clients when we build for them that I want to leverage as well because we learn a lot by building for people. We have highlights from interesting tweets that I see, interesting articles that I see, and I want all my projects to be able to leverage my agent skills. So, I decided to pivot and instead of having a folder for Cloud Code skills and having all my meeting recaps in Granola and having years of notes on Apple Notes and the tweets on the saved Chrome tab, instead, I moved everything automatically into Obsidian. It's just a note reader, obviously, so you don't have to use that. You can just save it locally, but I used Codex to set up everything so that Granola is automatically saved there, my notes are now on Obsidian just because it's a nice UI, I like it, and I can use it from my phone, my computer, my Windows, Mac, everything. So, anyways, I moved everything to Obsidian, which means that it's saved locally in my file system, which means it's basically my companion for researching and building everything I build now.
