I have some trouble understaing the value of such an effort. It feels like you'd spend far more time organizing knowledge than cultivating new knowledge - a waste. Add to that maintenance on old docs.. Why do this?

Hi, It's true that I've spent quite a bit of time into that but it's definitely not at the expense of cultivating knowledge. In fact, this has allowed me to learn more. Most of the repo was generated programmatically initially and that allowed me to be acquianted with services like GitHub, HN and Reddit APIs. I have a few scripts, bookmarkelts, and vim macros that do things for me. All I do is copy a chunk of bookmarks into the right place and push the changes that triggers mdbook build via Travis and updates the website.
