This is useful for anyone whos life goals are a little more generic. If all you use it is for learning a new programming language, it's probably limited in usefulness. If however you use it to not just note interesting ideas in a language but whatever you learn about tech in general, it will become more useful. I intend to use it to keep track of interesting tech notes, my project ideas, potential things I want to learn and read further, and some other life activities as well such as house hunting.

I have notes on the internal of a programming language, or what library function does what, along with accompanying example code, as well definitions for things I saw in the wild.

It was sometime difficult for me to figure out how to use an API due to lack of examples. So it's important to document that.

I don't think Zettelkasten will provide much benefits for this type of note taking. It probably still is better than normal note taking, but don't expect great benefits using ZK for things like this.

That's fair. All my notes goes into one system, regardless of how applicable a Zettlelkasten system is to certain notes.
