Ask HN: How do you read code?
My main tools are vim and the command-line (OS X/Ubuntu), but I'm still relatively inexperienced.
Languages include Python, Ruby, Django Templates, HAML and HTML
- petercooper 15y agoIf you mean in the 'code reading' sense, I often just use GitHub directly. Reduces the friction down to almost zero.
- nsomaru 15y agoso you sync all of your own code with a GitHub repo?
- petercooper 15y agoThat's what I couldn't quite infer from your question, whether you meant "code reading" or just the reading of code. I was referring to "code reading", a la http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_Reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_Reading or often called code "safaris." It's where you read other people's code to learn things. If that's not what you meant, sorry :-)
- nsomaru 15y agoI meant any code -- one's own, or others. I'll try GitHub out for reading others' code, thanks for your reply
