On the road with the code
As a kid, I used to print program source code and would make edits while on family road trips during summer vacation. When I got back home, I'd type in the edits.
In taking a road trip I hadn't done in perhaps 15 years, it felt appropriate to revisit some old habits - this time, with about 45 pages of JavaScript.
Despite software's "virtual" nature, I think it's good to occasionally print and work on a physical copy of your ideas. Even if you don't work all of your notes back into the code, you still benefit from the mental exercise of thinking through and editing your work.
