A software developer’s guide to personal knowledge management (PKM)

Imagine having near 100% recall of past projects. That’d be pretty helpful as a software developer, right?

Software developers hold a lot in their brains.

When you’re building a feature or investigating a bug, you go deep. You gain an intimate understanding about how a certain part of the code works.

The problem: most developers suck at remembering those details.

Personal knowledge management (PKM) is a collection of methods to collect, organize, and search information. Taking rich, linked notes makes you a superhero as a coder.

What is Developer Purpose?

I help software developers build meaningful careers with purpose.

Unlike others - who recommend chasing big salaries, jobs at elite companies (FAANG), or grinding interview prep - I mentor developers toward fulfilling, balanced software careers.

My goal is to help you work on software that makes the world a better place.
