How do you keep, use, and maintain those handy snippets, functions,
classes... - units of code, which you employ over-and-over again?
Having coded 'stuff' once, most of us will keep units of code,
"utilities", which we expect will be useful in-future (DRY principle),
eg functions to rename files, choose unique back-up/new fileNMs,
accessing a DB, journalling (logging) start/stop msgs, building specs
from YAML/JSON/XML/.ini config files (tongue~cheek), etc.
Do you 'keep' these, or perhaps next time you need something you've
'done before' do you remember when/where a technique was last
used/burrow into 'history'?
(else, code it from scratch, all over again)
How do you keep them updated, ie if add some new idea, better
err-checking, re-factor - how to add these 'back' into previous places
utility is used?
(who wants more "technical debt", plus handling classic
update/versioning issue)
How do you keep these? eg special file/dir, within IDE, leave in app and
'remember', on paper, ... If the former, how do you access/import them
from the various applications/systems?
(Python's import rules and restrictions, change control/version control)
Am interested to hear your tactics; to learn, compare, and contrast...
