Discussion on: How do you take notes while you code?

I like to keep a small text document of TODO items for my current ticket. If something is particularly complex then I’ll keep my notes saved for future reference, but there’s typically enough details in the ticket or the code / comments that I don’t need my notes after the fact.

Curious to see what other people take notes on and how it helps their coding process.

I basically do this, but update/reply/edit the original ticket so if I were to get shifted to another task, someone else can leverage any notes/information I took.

Or if in the future I need to go back over the same ticket everything is in the same place, for me or whoever.

That's a good point. Need to make sure enough information is there for someone who may work on it later
