Intent is to remember years later what specific tasks I had, even if I’ve left the company and no longer have access to my files. It’s been very useful during interviews when asked about details of what I did, and in conversation with friends who want to know what my day to day is like. I’ve learned that this journal has to be kept in a personal space so that I won’t lose access to it during layoffs, for example. Do you have any similar habits? What are your policies?
Yeah, I think it goes into a similar spirit to what you described, in the sense that you keep things in you in a format you can use later in life.
It wasn’t always so orderly. It really started as a bunch of loose directories with different things. I only actually put it under source control recently when I decided to organize it a bit better. I was surprised with the things I found. Some I had forgotten. Like experiments with new libraries, or even trying programming languages.
