Ha, probably too true!

Part of this question is in response to the feeling I have that when I'm coding, I'm not hyper focused, I'm constantly sidetracked by dipping down documentation and forum rabbit holes because many things are non obvious at first glance, but then once one learns the abstraction or learns the narrative of thought, that it suddenly becomes obvious and second nature. So following that, I was wondering if there were more resources to load up on these kind of insights to make looking up things only for the most arbitrary technical things.

Then I can build a cabin and code up a storm amiright? :)


Now that you mention it, I tried a program called Zeal on another machine which could also use the Dash Docs format (I'm linux based).

I was thinking one would need to download offline copies of the most immediate tools documents but I guess I was hoping for some tried and true articles or techniques (read: silver bullet) and not have to download the whole internet and cross my fingers that I got everything I needed :)


Awesome! Thank you for the article reference, it was great and along the lines of what I was thinking about when I asked my question. Even a novelist in the woods is only going to hack together a rough draft in the woods and then second draft with an editor once they get back to regular life which it sounds exactly what Carmack did.


I'm near DC, seriously considering going if I could find someone else interested.
