0 Cyberkiller Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Everything from memory. Sometimes if I need a function I know I wrote before, I'll go and grab code I've written before and use it but that's it. pqt 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 pqt Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I will often replicate a structure or method I've used in projects before (same thing with designs as well) but whenever I need inspiration I'll use CodePen or a number of other useful resources.

0 game_over Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Github Gists and SublimeText is your friend, you can literally pull down any code with a simple command.. I've memorised most of it but don't see the point in constantly retyping code so just store it on Github and you can access it from anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes if I need a function I know I wrote before, I'll go and grab code I've written before and use it but that's it. Yeah most code I know from memory too and also I just copy paste old code from other projects, no need to reinvent the wheel for every project.

0 +Kyle Subscriber¹ Posted March 25, 2015 Subscriber¹ Share Posted March 25, 2015 I always look and see if someone did the task before me in the language I am writing. Most the time I end up tearing up their code anyways, but it's a good place to start for reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 greenwizard88 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I generally start with some html5 boilerplate code, because I can't be bothered to remember the difference between html 4/5/xhtml/xml/etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 firey Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Depends, if I haven't written something in years.. then yes I google most things to refresh my memory. But once I've written it once, I will just find in my code where I have used it if I can't remember it exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
