It's still hard to believe that a note-taking trick makes you 10-100x better as a dev, for any definition of better.

- samstave 3y agoThink of it as journaling... If I was a good note-taker and had a rich, deep journal which was searchable - I'd be 100X more than the 1X me right now. Not journaling is a big regret of mine.
- rtpg 3y agoMaybe not 10x but even just noting stuff means that picking up an older task that you had to shelve before could go from a 15 minute thing to a 30 second thing depending on what context you put down/how accessible it is. Ultimately a lot of this stuff is commingled with comfort with tools and general ability to juggle things though, so hard to isolate the effects
