Have you got a situation when you need to do something (config database, vpn, fix a bug) that you have already done in the past and you can't remember how or where to find the information?
Just save the information in the right resource when the result of your work is successful and when you faced this problem again you will find what you need easily.
Possible use cases:
- Interview preparation
Interview preparation is very complicated, because need to learn a lot information on different topics, which you do not have to face every day in your current job, but you need to know for an interview. Having studied the subject, and after passing the interview successfully, you will forgot some details, if you're not working with them over time (the way the human brain), if there comes a need to find a new job you will have to remember everything again. So, no need to spend time on it every time, it is better to record all that is learned and, if necessary, to remember quickly.
- Faced with an unusual error
Have you found an unusual bug in the project and also found the solution? – Describe the situation and its solution, it is possible that, over time, will encounter it in other projects and with another team and very quickly recall how to fix it.
- Devops config
Instruction how to do something.
- It is unclear any decision
Programming languages, frameworks, OS is very versatile and sometimes it is not clear why something works that way and not otherwise and agreed and used as de facto. Share your opinion about this, let see others your thoughts and maybe they will support you in this and the situation will be changed or, on the contrary denied – in any case, the truth will be found.
Sounds pretty good to me!
I right now have a few notes with links to external sources to set up my laravel projects.
This can definetly be better, as long as it is easy! So an app and webapp would be really handy.
It would also be nice if you could essentially can make your own little tutorial through which you can swipe step by step to set it all up again.
Maybe make it shareable aswell and a public list? Help people create YouTube tutorials and include them aswell? I see a lot of possibilities here!
It Could be really handy for newbies! (It took me 3 days to set up laravel on my Mac for the first time lol, I want others to not experience that😂)
Thanks! You motivate me to release MVP :)
I save most of this type of information in category-specific text files in my dropbox -- then I always have it.
Example: I have ones for:
And more. Generally works pretty good, fast, and feels much easier than any other external tool.
In generally I mean save information of your daily professional activities like devops or programming. This lets to save information for later (repeat) use and promote yourself as professional.
