rather than working top-down through a whole map, I always believe in going the 'perpendicular' way and cutting a path across for a specific thing I actually want to do (make a blog? a social app?)

I'm skeptical of anything that involves flying around giant graphs of knowledge/ideas People seem to have some compulsion to make the Ultimate Maphttps://twitter.com/tmcw/status/1066103444878974977 …

Generally I don’t trust a map like this if - seeing the entire map tells you nothing about its contents other than “it’s complicated” - it’s structured around concepts rather than which pieces affect each other, e.g. which api client you use will affect you state management

If it’s made such a way where the only relationship of value is within a one node radius then it may as well be made as one of those early 3d games where you plod through a labyrinth of corridors

It’s notable that in The Glass Bead Game, a book about nerds who make knowledge graphs for fun, the point of the Game is to make interesting new maps, rather than settle on The Ultimate Map

It comes from the human need for certainty. Knowledge is elliptical, and tidy paths do not accurately describe the terrain. Cutting the Gordian Knot is the best way like you say.
