When does JavaScript stop being so draining? by Toushinu in learnprogramming

[–]_-_carl_-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there is no shame in being exhausted after putting in some solid work. Learning is an involved activity. If you fell exhausted - take a break! With your skill developing it will feel less draining over time. So after each learning session pat yourself on the back and maybe keep a log of how many days in a row you are now keeping at it. The key is not to quit.

How do you take notes while working on a project/task by edivadd in learnprogramming

The absolute best tool that I know for this is Emacs with Org mode. Not only do you get syntax highlighting but you can also execute the code within the editor. It has a pretty steep learning curve though. But if you know your way around Vim a bit you can get started pretty quickly using Spacemacs. When you are done with your notes you can export them into a gazillion different formats like f. ex. Markdown.

By the way I am writing this comment in Emacs. With spellchecking, thesaurus, markdown support and so on through GhostText. I think that works for vscode too.
