Ask HN: Developer Training Tools Recommendations

So apparently the economic downturn is worse than I thought, my company is planning to lay off 10-15% of our engineering team. This is mostly going to be junior developers or very under-performing mid-tier developers.

I've been asked to co-lead a task-force to start studying how to increase the efficiency of developers at the organization given my team is one of the highest performing results oriented teams.

To be honest, I'm at loss here. I don't think my team's methods will generalize because they are all self-driven and compensated with bonuses. I just need to keep people out of their way, make sure teamwork is good, and keep people out of their way.

However people's jobs are on the line, and management want to see increases in efficiency or else. So I'm reaching out to hackernews.

Are their any recommended note taking systems, learning tools that are software engineering focused not algorithmic or theory focused. More about the daily life of dealing with requirements, managing your energy/drive, working with BA's, etc ?
