I would like to hear people's thoughts on how to coach a junior on how to get a 'second brain' (new term for me) going. Plenty of your average new developers won't have the experience to build it on their own, or maybe they just wont know what the topics and projects are that they will be working with.

I think the described processes are quite an effort and seem to imply a black and white world: no notes versus a personal intranet of your mind.

I'm looking to augment my process but I've started with a simple approach: markdown notes, scripts, and lately my own diagrams (made with excalidraw or plantuml).

The most common scenarios when I write: learning something new or when I've had to search/type a command for the nth time - time to write it down or create a script for it.
