Discoveries

All Discoveries

Micro-learnings captured in real-time. Each entry has a date and worklog link for traceability. Discoveries that prove useful repeatedly graduate to the Codex or Pattern Journal.

How This Works

  1. Discover something useful during work

  2. Capture it in the relevant topic partial (partials/discoveries/<category>/<tool>.adoc)

  3. Link back to the worklog for context

  4. Graduate to Codex or Pattern Journal when used 3+ times
