Coldfusion software engineer - yes, Coldfusion. When I'm not debating the finer points of software development, I can be found pedaling furiously along a winding country road.
I use Google Keep. I usually start a new note with #blog so Keep tags it as a blog note and makes my notes easily searchable. I always write in Markdown, so it's easy to drop in to my code editor or a markdown-to-html convertor. At some point Google Keep started converting * to literal bullet points, which I'm not a huge fan of, but whatever.
Here's an old one I wrote a year or two ago. (Man, I should publish this!)
#blog idea: Modernizing a Legacy CMS
I've "inherited" this legacy codebase.
To refactor, I took a lot of tips from this video: https://youtu.be/7v9ehGsPm1s
I eventually developed a plan of action
Phase One: Infrastructure
• create a one-step dev server install script
• utilize a CI server - Bitbucket Pipelines
• develop a database migration strategy
Phase Two: Minor modifications
• Write tests - testbox
• remove cruft - tons of old, unused code
• move "inline" cfquery tags to CFC
• fix SQL injection by updating custom ORM
• organize all admin files under /manage
• delete all jQuery / bootstrap plugins, link to CDN
Phase Three: Major Modifications
• Convert all data-related queries to ORM.
• Move all frontend to theme/default
• Convert every zone to a "content type"
• Grunt all the assets
Phase Four: Huge "Bees Knees" Features
• Plugins
• Template Engine
• Themes
• Media Uploader
Hmm. Maybe I just did publish this. :)
