When you are in a meeting, how do you take your notes?
I tend not to because my meetings are just Agile things that don't affect anything.
When you are at a conference, do you take notes of a talk?
I haven't been to one, but I'd stick with my general set up (see below), but with a small notebook for being on the go.
When you are brainstorming, how are you taking notes?
The beginning of the notebook has pages left blank for referencing notes (an Index).
Depends on the subject:
Draw out the system workflows
"Pseudocode" out a solution to a problem (I'm terrible at pseudocode... I swear my eslint rules would pass if I ran my notebook through it)
Strikethrough crap code that won't work and write better solutions under it
Don't erase anything -- It can all be useful at some point, even if that point isn't the current problem
Make tables for test case situations
go full on truth table if it helps find edge and corner cases
Add page numbers to the notebook and write what the page covered back in the index for later reference
I'd think for something where I would be listening to someone talk, I'd want to get into Cornell Notes but I've never tried it.
To-Dos stay in a different notebook and tend to start as post-it notes. The notebook also has a use for time tracking since I fill out my timesheet every two weeks. It makes stand ups nice, too, since the today and yesterday plans are kept in their own spots instead of intermixed with notes.
Code snippets for future use are kept in markdown files either with something like Quiver, Github Gists, GitLab Snippets... something with syntax highlighting and searching.
What is your way of taking notes of these situations?
In general, a notebook and pen are kept on my desk / in my backpack at all times. The notebook's also tricked out with dev.to stickers all over it.
(I'm available to discuss the pros and cons of various notebooks and pens anytime)
