A set of shared categories is something like that: it’s built once and used forever.Why Categories for Your Note Archive are a Bad Idea • Zettelkasten Method
The Zettelkasten method encourages, or perhaps even obliges, a methodology of bottom up thinking. Taxonomy fails in a system that is evolving; by the very nature of rigidity stopping growth.
Programming operates in a similar fashion. Why choose Typescript over Javascript? What is gained by writing tests for code that will deprecate in the face of a new Chrome release?
Is it even possible to plan sufficiently enough into the future to solve an entire problem?
There is an old wives’ tale that went along the lines of: “He who overfits his schema will find himself migrating his entire database come winter”.
An equal dose of iteration and humility creates successful programs. Planning merely sets the cardinal direction.

The support for blue light blocking lenses continues to weaken
…The natural illuminance in the cloudy winter sky amounts to in our latitudes approximately 5,000 lux, on a sunny day up to 100,000 lux. A computer screen, very brightly adjusted, remains at a distance of 50 centimeters, however, below 500 lux.
"Even if children sit for hours in front of screens due to corona-induced distance learning, at least blue light eye damage is not to be feared as a result," the vision researcher noted.
