Same, I'm a bit more messy so I keep a handful of plain text diaries and all the e-mails pertinent to the requirements / technical part of the stuff plus a transcript of the chats or phone calls.

Absolutely. Each client has their own folder, each project has its own subfolder. In there is an /admin folder which contains invoice PDFs, contracts, a "WIP" document so I know what I'm actually working on, and a notes.txt file. I open that up in Notepad and hit F5 (to date/timestamp the entry) then make a brief note of a meeting actions, personnel changes, strategic stuff they client discusses etc. Periodically I will clear out defunct / superseded stuff. It's in Notepad so I can access it really fast, and F5 is so useful.
For support stuff (which is about all I do these days) I also have a tasks.txt file; again F5 timestamped and a very quick summary of time spent and task undertaken. That gets transcribed into an invoice at month-end. I should really do it direct into Excel (which I use for invoicing) but have a single Excel file for all the invoice spreadsheets for everyone, and with ~ 1000 invoices (each is a separate sheet) it's taking too long to open!

You're more organized than I am, but I am a big proponent of people using what works for *them* in this case. Note taking shouldn't interfere with workflow or the development cycle in general, IMO. So for me I keep the organization relatively ... coarse I guess?

I use OneNote and put in things like SQL queries I'm using, software setup etc. Writing down design decisions are also usefull since this solves a lot of the WTFs that come along later.
I doubt therefore I am.

Seriously - doesn't everyone do this?

I always did that (in both paper and digital notebooks) until I discovered asana, but I still draw things out on actual paper.

Historically I've been a bad note taker. Recently I've started using Microsoft One Note and really like it.

I've been using Azure DevOps for all my code work, so I have my repo, tasks and other documentation altogether. I especially like that I can tie a commit to a particular story or task, so if I forget why I made a change, it's easy to follow the links...

It's nice when you have that kind of infrastructure. Currently I work for myself from home, so I am not similarly equipped. Nor do I work routinely but rather in spurts, so it doesn't really pay for me to have a subscription to anything major since I'll take a month sabbatical here and there. Necessity is the mother of invention, and I find keeping everything simple works well enough for me.

I work from home to, as an independent contractor. And there is no cost to using Azure DevOps for small teams. I have several large repos there that I maintain. And it does make it easier when I can share the stories I am working on with my clients...

Oh, i thought it was pay to play for professional stuff. thanks!

It is certainly worth looking at it. I believe you can have up to 5 people who can access your AzDo site. And having a VS license doesn't count to that limit. Mind you, I haven't looked if any of this has changed. And there are services on it they they do charge for. But for the most part I have no problems with just using the free services

On my hobby project, I've taken to leaving notes when a thought occurs to me that I don't want to pursue right away, in the form of #error TODO maybe look into ... (c++)
Later I'm forced to at least look at the note. Otherwise they'd be lost forever.

Me too. Although since I no longer develop in C++, I use:

I hate the question. The reason being is that the pointer is part of the type intrinsically, and I want to use it that way but C isn't always consistent about it, so it gets weird no matter what you do.
Pointer syntax is funky. It just is. There's no amount of style guidelines that will defunk pointers. Ergo, I do whatever the code around me does. Usually I put it with the type but I know I'm hated for that.

I agree, see my comment below, I think similar mis feelings.
Either way, I'm not worrying about such details. It is what it is and I close both eyes and go through it
