I was originally introduced to this concept by Maggie Appleton's post. Andy Matuschak has some interesting ideas like working with the garage door up. This one by Mike Caulfield talks about gardens vs streams, but then Tom Critchlow wrote a very strong essay about the differences between streams, campfires, and gardens that resonated with me. Some thoughts on what's fair for digital garden visitors and gardeners by Shaun Wang.
I need to go back and re-read these so I can flesh out this idea.
