A researcher revealed why he abandoned his "second brain" after six months: the maintenance cost outweighed its value, turning it into a second job. Statistics show 90% of personal wikis are abandoned within three months, not due to lack of motivation, but because the system breaks the user. The article proposes a "compiler architecture" solution: Raw stores source materials, Wiki is where the model converts data into structured knowledge (human reads, model writes), and Output holds the finished work, centered around CLAUDE.md.
