So my question is, how do experienced coders keep their code
organized? Do you use Clippings exclusively, Disk Browsers or some
other method/software that you would recommend?
For myself, while I do use the Clippings feature a lot, I use it only
to store information which is not easily converted into a portable
library. That is, for most code that I write, if I am going to use it
more than once, either in another project or this one, I create some
sort of API for it so that I can just include it as a module to the
rest of my code. Fortunately, the work that I do makes this an easy
thing. So, I find that I don't have to use the Disk Browser or the like
very often. What I do use is the Clippings and stationary sets to do
some basic duplication, and for anything more complex, that required
dependencies or whatever, I use the features of my language to create
modules. I find clippings to be great for commonly used little snippets
of things that don't work well with modules or basic code abstractions.
For example, copyright and license declartions, or comment templates
are good candidates for this, and I find that these never vary enough
to require a lot of management.
