Antonin J. (they/them)

I used to use complicated methods to keep track of what I'm doing, code, etc. but in the end, I use Notepad++ and markdown-style notes that I throw away when I'm done with a problem. This is at least for stuff I'm currently working on. It includes notes about how the system works and immediate todos.

Outside of that, and more formally, I use Paper at work for project discovery and to document how certain complicated systems work (such as calculations, and why they work the way they do).
