This is brilliant.. It's so interesting too because over the years I've built up a few "Bibles" that I always need on hand when working in a particular language or even just automation, I've learnt some very good organising processes (from HN to be honest), I never thought to 'release' them as they feel quite personal and specific for my mental process.
Looking through some of these though, I think I'm inspired. Super cool idea, I would donate to the retirement project financially to say thanks if possible.
- absoluteunit1 3y agoI’m curious, what do you mean by “Bibles” exactly ? And what are the organizing processes you learned; I’m always eager to learn productivity tips/software from others
- dotancohen 3y agoI have quite a few of these bibles too. I'd love to swap some files if you're interested, I'm sure there is much to learn from yours. My Gmail username is the same as my HN username if you are interested.
- absoluteunit1 3y agoAh but when you say “bibles”, what do you mean exactly? Is it just common/useful code you fold related to a particular language/framework? Could you elaborate on this
- dotancohen 3y agoUsually there's a getting started section, mostly links to important nuances in the fine documenting and short code examples. Then there will be a section for each problem that I've encountered - often things that I've solved by reading Stack Overflow answers. But then there are the footguns and pitfalls - this is where the real value of these files lie.
- absoluteunit1 3y agoOh that’s a really great idea. Thank you for elaborating; I think I will get into a habit of doing a similar thing
