Code Snippets in Evernote? (or somewhere else?)

[friz 19]

Hey Gang,

I'm curious about my fellow devs who use Evernote -- do you also use EN's code snippet functionality for when you're taking notes on something like an online programming course, or do you use something else entirely?

I'm guessing you're referring to EN's code block

No, I just copy the snippet inline to the note; with syntax colours
for example

tell application "Evernote"
     set theNotes to get selection
end tell

I sometimes paste code into a note, but it's not a heavy duty use case for me. It's more often debug dumps, variable/object dumps, stack traces, etc., that sort of thing. Occasionally I'll save code snippets of algorithms. But if I want to work with code, I generally do it in a code editor.

Just using it as a dump (currently trying to teach my Raspberry a few tricks, which results in a lot of error code from my ssh terminal).
