Great concept! However like many zettelkasten implementations it gives the user too much freedom imo. To me zettelkasten are most useful because of their limitations, like restricting the size of each note, limiting how many notes you can see at a time, or limiting how fast you can traverse through notes. I think it's more important to be able to hold the overall structure of notes in your mind, which zettelkasten facilitates by intentionally making everything harder to do.

I guess you're not a big fan of rubber duck debugging then? Whenever I get stuck I like to ask myself a bunch of questions and thought experiments to get a better understanding of the problem/project, and with LLMs I'm forced to spell out each one of these questions/experiments coherently, which ends up being great documentation later on. I think LLMs are great if you're actually interested in the fundamentals of your problem/project, otherwise it just turns into a sinkhole that sucks you in.

The fact that you cannot create an arbitrary filled polygon in drawio baffles me.

I seriously tried to use this for documentation at my previous company, but the inability to create these basic custom components really limits this otherwise excellent tool.

Has anyone been able to do custom component libraries in drawio?

completely anecdotal, but when Diablo 2 resurrected came out I went on a 2-day binge, 16 hours a day. A couple hours into the first day I was already feeling pain in my mouse hand, but after switching to trackpoint I had zero issues grinding for the next 2 days.

In my experience, it's actually pretty common for folks to get massive compensation for land in China. There's even a term (拆二代) that describes a whole generation that suddenly became rich after their parents' land was appropriated by the government.
