On note categorization

What am I generally capturing notes on?

• basic “how to” instructions (e.g. setting up and configuring a server).
• cheatsheets (e.g. common commands, points I typically forget).
• collecting my thoughts on a subject (e.g. like this post).

And what broad areas do I cover?

• programming languages (e.g. python, go, html, css, javascript, etc.)
• libraries (e.g. flask, hugo, pelican, etc.)
• tools (e.g. vim, tmux, invoke, etc.)
• experience (e.g. assessing software quality, work environments)

So, is it Categories and/or Tags?

• I’m thinking all that is really necessary for my own use is a single set of tags or labels.
• Do I really have a need for tiers of categorization?
• If I end up with a large bucket of tags will it become a roadblock to finding info that a higher tier would help with?
• Seach probably fixes any kind of access problem I might have.
• Weighted tags/labels would help.
