Philosophy
If this were a book, this page is the table of contents. Each Part below is a chapter; each chapter links out to the concepts and templates that already exist elsewhere in this wiki instead of duplicating them. Unwritten chapters are listed as Planned rows, not empty files.
Parts
00 — Cognitive Biases & Decision-Making
Judgment errors that recur in engineering and career decisions, and the frameworks that correct for them. See Decision Journal Template for the practical exercise version of this Part.
- Sunk Cost Fallacy — escalation of commitment, loss aversion, and the marginal-cost reframe that fixes it
- Cognitive Biases Catalog — (planned) — Baader-Meinhof / frequency illusion, spotlight effect, anchoring, confirmation bias
- Decision Frameworks — (planned) — optimal stopping (37% rule), regret minimization, satisficing, Bayesian updating
01 — Mental Models & Systems Thinking
(Planned) First-principles reasoning, second-order effects, and antifragility — the general thinking tools this wiki’s technical chapters (see Observability’s Core Mental Models for a domain-specific example) each apply to a narrower problem.
02 — Stoic Practice
(Planned) Dichotomy of control, premeditation of adversity, and virtue-based resilience. See Stoic Journal Template for the daily practice version of this Part.

Notes — Library Index
The front page of the notebook — every book-shaped domain, the applied Projects and flat Inbox folders, and how they cross-link into one wiki instead of duplicating content across each other.
Productivity for Knowledge Workers
A book-shaped table of contents for productivity as practiced by a knowledge worker: foundations, self-management, goal setting, time and deep work, personal knowledge management, learning, task systems, decision making, habits, digital productivity, engineering and career practice, health, review, and an advanced operating-system layer, plus reference appendices — cross-linking existing notes instead of duplicating them.

Observability Engineering
A book-shaped table of contents for observability engineering: foundations through architecture, metrics, logging, tracing, profiling, OpenTelemetry, instrumentation, Kubernetes/cloud, data platforms, visualization, alerting, SRE integration, cost, security, platform engineering, AI-driven operations, and MAANG interview preparation — cross-linking existing prometheus/grafana-cloud/kubernetes/sre/platform-engineering notes instead of duplicating them.
Kubernetes
A book-shaped table of contents for Kubernetes: cloud-native foundations, the CKAD/CKA/CKS certification tracks, control-plane internals, platform tooling, multi-cluster architecture, and MAANG-level system design and interview prep — cross-linking the existing Prometheus, Observability, and Platform Engineering chapters instead of duplicating them.
Site Reliability Engineering: From Foundations to Internet-Scale Systems
The complete 184-chapter, 15-part Site Reliability Engineering curriculum — from Linux internals and distributed-systems theory through reliability engineering, observability, incident response, platform engineering, and Staff/Principal-level MAANG interview preparation, ordered the way SRE expertise actually develops rather than as a topic index.
Aptitude
A book-shaped table of contents for aptitude test prep: quantitative aptitude, logical reasoning, verbal ability, and mock-test strategy for the aptitude rounds that still gate MAANG-adjacent hiring pipelines.
