Tools

Always been a fan of finding the “right” tool but with time I’ve discovered that it’s not really possible to have the perfect tool. It’s more important that you have a tool-belt and that you’re flexible enough to change things out when needed. World is changing too fast to stay on only one thing.

Writing Documentation

My preferred way of writing documentation is definitely Markdown. Preferably with IEEE reference style (http://library.queensu.ca/book/export/html/5846).
