“Backlinking Is Not Very Useful – Often Even Harmful • Zettelkasten Method”
Also a mini case study on making sure your interpretation matches that of other users. Otherwise you end up talking at cross purposes.

@baldur very interesting. It seems that the writer isn’t neccaserily against backlinking, just lazy linking (which backlink can encourage). I like the idea of correctly applying the context and considering the opportunity cost of each link. It’s very tempting to drop links here there and everywhere when you start using a system like roam.
@ChrisJWilson Yeah, the idea that automatic/lazy backlinks would end up just cluttering things up and make actually useful links harder to find makes a lot of sense.
