I watched the How the Universe Works series, on HBO, and they have this lady that is a Planetary Protection Engineer.

She has her own Web site: https://www.moogega.com

On: How to build a second brain as a software developer

[x0hm]

Lost me here - "Tiago Forte (the original creator of the second brain concept)"

Ugh, no. No, no, no. Tiago isn't doing anything original. Tiago has never done anything original. This isn't Tiago's thing.

[infogulch → x0hm]

He's at least "a promoter of the second brain concept". I'd find your comment more useful if you mentioned or linked to someone that you think would better fit the "creator" category, instead of claiming how he's never done anything original.

[mcbishop → x0hm]

The PARA method (introduced to me by Tiago) has helped me. Who created that?
