Code Search is a superpower

Before starting a new coding task, I find it’s worthwhile to spend at least a little time trying to find a related working example. This article offers tips on how to quickly find nice code samples. Using search engines, even ones dedicated to code search, are mostly frustrating and unproductive. Using advanced search operators, we’ll use Google filters to search non-code files, ones that are properly indexed by the search engine even when the code next to it is not. In a couple minutes, we find Facebook Flipper and RocketChat repositories that are popular, up-to-date and well-maintained.
