In order to be able to show growth and improve myself as a developer and coworker, I need a system. Previous attempts at journaling failed, but with the rise of LLM and AI, there is a new option.

In this talk, I explain my journaling system, how it works for me, and how you can use the open sourced template to make it your own.

This is for developers: it is not an app, nor a SaaS. It's something you can use within your own IDE, with your own workflow, and your own modifications.

I've been using this system for a year now. It has grown, like I have. I will share some of the pitfalls and improvements I've went through so far, which includes better text writing, use of MCPs to pull data from other systems, and more.
