As a developer, my most important tools are a pen and a notebook

Writing code is a part of being a software developer but often more important question is to figure what code to write and how and that I like to do away from computer with my notebook.

The weekend before my first day I headed to the local bookstore and spent a good amount of time browsing through the notebooks available and ended up with this happy orange one. Sometimes it’s for walks (I tend to work at companies near water features so I’ve used to go for strolls near San Francisco Bay, Spree or the best of them all, Aurajoki) but often I take my notebook and sit on a couch or outside at the patio and ponder. designing how to approach it, drawing UI sketches or flowcharts) or I’m helping myself understand the flow of data and interactions in the current code base to figure out how to fix a bug or add new functionality.
