I know that it's only been recently that you've learned about personal knowledge management and building a second brain. But do you think that during your software engineering and the switching between jobs back then, you use some of the principles of personal knowledge management without knowing it? Yeah, for sure. I was the kid who would take downloads for everything. So I have been taking notes forever and ever and ever."

Rachel Madrigal is a Software Engineer turned product manager at Twingate and part-time YouTuber who creates vlog and Obsidian content. She’s also a friend because we meet weekly for our YouTube accountability meetings. This week, we talked about Rachel's work as a software engineer and experience switching to product management, how notetaking is helping her in both careers, and her experience becoming a more minimalist Obsidian user.
