Re: Ask HN: What are your favorite developer-efficiency tips?
#532I sometimes like to leave my source code in a dirty (uncommitted) format where I've left a comment with what I intend to do next. I quickly jot this down at the end of a workday, or if I need to run to a meeting or have a short conversation with a colleague. This reduces friction for me to get started coding next time I'm back by the computer.
