Reverse chronology answers one question — what is new? — and organises everything else badly.
Most of what I want to write does not expire. A note about how to think about note-taking is as true in three years as today, but a blog buries it under everything published since, and the only way back is search or a tag page nobody maintains.
A garden inverts that. Notes sit at stable URLs, get revised rather than replaced, and are found by following links from whatever you were already reading. The date becomes metadata rather than structure.
The cost is real: there is no feed of new things, and a garden is harder to arrive at cold. That is why this one still has a few posts — see [[Posts and notes do different jobs]].
