> I google a lot in my job as well, but one thing I’m trying to do is reduce the number of repetitive searches I do and remembering what to do afterwards. I think part of personal development is learning how to do something and not relying on google or any other reference because as we’re all aware they’re will be a time when stack overflow or GitHub goes down.

For me, it really helps to blog with code snippets, annotations and full explanations.

I use git diff > iteration123.patch then copy-paste to OneNote along with a quick summary of my thought process.

It really helps me to retain what I've learned (and it reassures me that I can account for how I'm spending the considerable self-learning time I'm being given during my current internship)
