I'm a big fan of typing new code. My most recent example was while learning Webpack. You could pick from oodles of pre-existing configuration, but it's meaningless if you just copy and paste it in to your editor.
I normally type something out and then if I can't come up with a moderately reasonable assumption about what it does, then I'll pull up the docs and read about it.
- clifanatic 10y agoI find that typing things out by hand organizes my brain to focusing on one thing at a time. If I read over a code snippet, I tend to sort of gloss over it; typing it out slows down the thought process a bit so that I can focus on some of the nuance.
