In the new Claude-Code powered world, my choice to have stuck with Obsidian as a notetaking app (painfully migrated from Evernote many years back) has gotten vindicated. I see friends who are trying to install MCPs of Notion and continue to pay subscription to Notion, or MCPs of Roam, which does a piss-poor job of navigating their Roam graph, while with Obsidian you do not need any plugin, API or MCP at all. Obsidian is afterall just a codebase full of markdown files, you can let Claude Code lose into it - the filesystem is the API, plaintext is the format.

If AGI will do everything, then who will see the ads?

I'm probably biased having spent a lot of the last year learning about server racks, switches, DC busways, and all sorts of DC network fabrics, but I found @GergelyOrosz latest podcast episode with @oxidecomputer @bcantrill the best one so far!
