But as the job of coding has gotten more complicated, the tools and services we use more robust, workflows, aka instructions on how to do shit, become critical to our doing our job. Workflows are something that developers build for other folks who pay them, not something we give a lot of thought to for ourselves. ReplyBox a great service, and if you've got a blog ( and you should if you're a developer), you should consider switching to ReplyBox, but the point of this post isn't about ReplyBox, it's about my my brain, and my need for a second brain to store all the technical stuff that was originally in my organic brain, especially workflows. Then I spent another 2 hours this morning navigating the back alleys of Ghost Pro, trying to remember/relearn/google how to change a layout (for 3rd party themes like the one I use on this site, you have to find your theme's code buried on your localhost, edit that, then zip it and upload the zip to ghost and set it as active - another process I'd completely forgotten.). I wasted 3 hours going down the rabbit hole with Netlify before I remembered that I had moved my site to Ghost 6 months ago. Sometimes it feels like the steady increase in new information compresses right out of my brain key information I may need in the future.Īn example: yesterday after seeing yet another $10 charge from do-nothing commento.io hit my bank account, after checking that they never responded to my last request for tech support, I decided to dump them from 47hats for ReplyBox a fairly new commenting service that seems to work well with non-WordPress and WordPress blogs. It's so easy to forget chunks of information that you use infrequently. As a developer, I deal with huge amounts of information.
