Comment by Paul Watts on "Full Stack Developer 101"

I have gone back and read everything in detail now. It reminds me of how I have found learning in IT for the last 40 years, "I now know more things that I don't know and need to learn" 😀

If you don't mind I would love to know your answers on the following questions (and appreciate the time you have already given):

What editor do you use
What are the key Editor packages that you use
What do you use to store "patterns" and "code snippets" and boilerplate templates etc
Are you subscribed to any learning repositories, e.g. egghead.io etc
What task builder do you use, e.g. Grunt, Gulp, etc
What do you use to do live browser refreshing when coding
What online Git repository(s) do you use, e.g. Github
.. and a lot more questions on design tools but will leave for now

Thanks again for your time and posts.....

Yeah, it is good to know that you do not know a lot of stuff, but it's even better to know what you do not know :) I am still learning, too, so I really hope people point out stuff I am missing haha

Either Kate or Notepad++. I prefer the IDE "Webstorm" to any "pure" editor
Just the default stuff. However, I enable ES6 with enforced strict-mode
I just use my brain and I keep reading stuff again from time to time. If that does not help you, why not make your own GitHub repository with patterns :)
No. I learned everything I know from the docs and from working on projects. That's what I feel most comfortable with. Maybe that's also why I started to impose very strict rules on my code. Because I made many (bad) experiences first-hand
I am working on my own application host which should do everything automatically for me. It's a long way from being complete, but if you want to, you can take a look at it. It's called SHPS (I am currently working on the GitHub Wiki. Documenting a project is so booooring). If I had to choose one established task runner, I would go for Gulp.
I do not use live browser refreshing. I just work on code, then test it. If there is a bug, I use Chrome's dev-tools to edit the code in-browser until it works correctly, then I copy it back to my files. One might say that is sub-optimal :)
GitHub. I have a premium account, so I can hide my private stuff
Really, I do not use a whole lot of tools. I use SHPS and then edit the DB with phpMyAdmin. I use Chrome's dev tools for testing. That's about it. Hmm. I sometimes use a pen and some paper or a whiteboard. Most of the time it's just the code and me
