Knowledge Compounding

Knowledge Compounding is the optional behavioral emphasis in Brevvie Python + AI — Section 13: Build Your Own LLM Wiki (Karpathy / Obsidian). The lesson argues that knowledge becomes more valuable when sources, questions, answers, and cross-links accumulate into a maintained artifact.

Habit loop from the source

  • ingest new sources regularly
  • ask the wiki real questions
  • file valuable answers back into the vault
  • lint periodically
  • commit the vault to git

Why it matters

The wiki is useful not because of one excellent summary, but because repeated use makes future reading and questioning cheaper and richer.
