How I use Obsidian for work as a software developer advocate

I'm a software developer advocate focusing on performance testing, and in this video, I show you how I use Obsidian for work. Obsidian is a Personal Knowledge Management tool for building a system that will help you keep up with the quickly changing field of technology. Software engineers are great examples of knowledge workers, so it's time to start getting systematic about how we acquire and maintain that knowledge.
