Hacker News new | ask | show | jobs

I found a hackernews link like a month ago about making a daily TIL (today I learned) on github. I liked the idea enough so I made my own version:

https://github.com/vincentntang/TIL

It's where I store my code snippets, and a way to rubber ducky to myself. Everything I write on there is directly something I had to look up and didn't know off hand. Something to note is I do add things to my TIL during work hours and spend 10-15 minute tops writing each `.md` file

I haven't really blogged much lately but this makes it easier to transition after. I wrote a React useState and useEffect guide this morning from my TIL notes

I highly recommend making a daily TIL since I can rich search all my notes for copy paste code I can use for projects
