This Notebook
This obsidian vault collects me thoughts on my most developed supertopics, which I would call "construction-estimating", but that includes fields far more disparate than my peers would traditionally consider relevant.
This journal is for my rough ideas that I'm likely to change my opinion on as my understanding of them develops.
It's my intent that any outside sources used here will be properly cited, and that work can be assumed to be my own unless otherwise stated.
This is not an appropriate place for definition lists, tables, or other resources provided without context or analysis.
Contents
Despite how alien my approach may seem to most estimators, I believe its all merely extrapolation on the conventional practice.
- Industry Knowledge
- Statistics
- strategy
Purpose
- Compensate for my poor memory
- Make my achievements in understanding more "real"
Tone
I write as if someone else will read these notes, I find this beneficial for my current and future selves. Explaining concepts completely forces me to understand them completely and to provide context I may be tempted to omit because it is obvious at the time of writing. When revisiting notes its then much easier to pick up where I left off.
Note
It's recently been pointed out to me that it can't possibly be my intent for others to read my notes, since I tend use diction and syntax that is needlessly opaque. I'm compelled to agree, but I don't know how to reconcile that fact with my intent.
I often use an arrogant tone which helps me stop fiddling over specific wording and just write; somewhat similar to the technique of pretending you hate your audience to sound more confident.
Conventions
Semantic Line Breaks
I didn't like them at first, but this notebook uses semantic line breaks for text wrapping.
I shoot for less than 90 columns.
TODO
This notebook is in constant need of maintenance. For the current backlog, see TODO.
