Having a personal notebook is a game changer. If you don't have yet, I highly recommend, tool is not that important...
I just use Emacs and Markdown. It's like my permanent memory, and it's public:
https://github.com/azer/notebook https://github.com/azer/notebook
I even got a pull request once about a note on parenting :)
Specifically about coding, the best thing is, I can quickly open a note within my editor.
For example, I forget some rules about Bash all the time. Instead of Googling the same thing over and over, I open the bash programming notes with a few key presses, check the rule, close the note. This happens really fast as I use Emacs for both coding and taking notes.
- Singletoned 9y agoApart from it being a bunch of Markdown files, what tools do you use with it? I keep trying org-mode but keep getting annoyed that it isn't Markdown. I'd love to find a Markdown equivalent.
- roadbeats 9y agoI use org for only budget planning and project management files, markdown for the rest. They're both useful I think, so you don't have to choose one of them...
- hprotagonist 9y agoi had the opposite experience; after org, i’m annoyed that markdown doesn’t support tangling code blocks.

Instead of Googling the same thing over and over, I open the bash programming notes with a few key presses, check the rule, close the note. I use cheat as in pip install cheat which works in Bash itself. Lots of popular cheats and you can add your own.
