CLAUDE + OBSIDIAN = THE ONLY AI FORMAT THAT WILL SURVIVE THE NEXT DECADE
I struggled to build a functional second brain until I applied Karpathy's system -> I used to rely on walled gardens to store my thoughts, jumping from one app to the next
then I moved everything to plain text in Obsidian and connected it to Claude
seeing the AI read my entire folder locally completely upgraded my approach to work:
> you point the AI directly at your local directory for instant context
> you own your data forever because everything stays on your machine
> the setup eliminates subscription fees and messy database exports
> the open format is immune to startup failures because simple text lasts forever
complex note apps will eventually shut down. a plain text folder works for a lifetime
