Comment on Keep a programming journal

Comments

A customer demanded I keep notebooks, dated an initialed on each page; I've never stopped. They wanted it because they are a patent mill (they have hundreds, file dozens annually). I do it because I can review what's done, whats left; keep todo lists up to date easily; keep lists on the right page, scribble notes on the left; find out when something started, when it finished.

Hard to draw diagrams in most todo-list apps; where do you jot phone #s, debugging constants, interview notes?
