Why you should be taking notes

Maegan on Instagram: “If you’re not taking notes, then you should highly consider starting. It will help you remember and understand the topic more and it will give you a reference to go back to if needed. I think note taking is really important in the software developer field because having that reference to go back to is gold. Whether you just started a job or your having an off day, having the notes to remind you of what XYZ does or how to run the app’s tests is amazing. ❓ Do you take notes? My favorite note taking app on the Mac is Craft. I highly recommend checking it out. I recently switched from Obsidian to Craft because of the design. It’s still pretty easy to export the notes in Markdown if needed and it supports back-linking, which are 2 things I think a good note app should have. Obsidian is a good choice as well and because it stores all the notes as a Markdown file, you’ll have no issue getting those out of Obsidian. ☞ What is back-linking? It just means to link to another note in the database. It allows you to see other notes that might make sense. So I could link a note about core data to a note about cloudkit that way I know they relate to each other. ❓What’s your favorite note taking app?”
