Many developers have a habit of scribbling notes while programming. Do you do it? Should everybody do it? 🍺

In my case I do not write any code but I do modelling (Object Oriented Software Modelling) the whole system with pen and papers. :)
Definitely. A quick flowchart to show how I visualize a process turning out, just before I code it. I write it out on any paper nearby. The benefit of it being hand-written is that you can draw arrows between notes as you change the flow of how it'll work. A drawing like this is a lot more efficient than typing it out.
I'm always scratching down notes. It's probably different for everybody but it definitely seems to help me process problems and to remember things later on (which in a sense is self-defeating but it turns out to be a positive hack).
I prefer to create a digital document, in software like typora its to easy and you can export in many formats.
I go through probably a notebook a week scribbling stuff. My whiteboard is pretty clean. 🤔
I think its a good thing for every developer/coder to have a whiteboard or a note. That way you don't have to open to your laptop to process or visualize your ideas or current projects.

Definitely yes. Lots of writing, diagrams, notes, logic flowcharts... then I paper-shred everything weekly.
I have a project-planning.mdwith a little structure (Goals, Timeline, Hierarchy, etc.). It's super useful to see how data should flow between components or to chart out how data should be structured.
I tend write down lot of notes about the project before I actually start to program it. But not so much while I am developing, I would always go back and refer to my notes. Since most decisions I make in my notes rarely change, there's very little writing afterwards.
I do this all the time. I don't even write pseudo code sometimes, but the actual code I need before translating it over. I feel it keeps me in check and it's a great way for me to really get to understand the code I'm dealing with :)
I do take notes all the time. It's way faster when it comes to laying out your thought process. It seems so ancient and most of my colleagues constantly ask me why I still use a notebook and pen. Generally think we all work differently what comes so naturally to me might not for someone else.
I took handwritten notes while I was working through a JavaScript tutorial. It was helpful to be able to write anywhere and draw diagrams. Still, I tend to type most of my notes and have accumulated a set of lengthy notes with code examples and comments in a personal documentation repo.
Do I do it? Yes. Should everyone do it? I hardly think so.
For a lot of people it is much easier to think and memorise things when we jot down stuff. There are a bunch of studies on the subject, so let's not get into this deeper. I tried some alternatives. Taking notes in Emacs was hard, especially because I work in Emacs, so having an extra window (a window is a panel-ish thing in Emacs lingo) was eating up too many screen estate. Doing it in another app was better, but I can't keep it on top forever, again, because of screen estate. Also, I really missed the fine movement of my hands. But the idea to give up on paper was strong, so I bought a drawing tablet (xournalwas an awesome app to use it with). I used it almost for a year, but the screen estate part still bothered me. I simply can't keep my notes on the top while writing the code. It also serves as a distraction, so at the end, computer based note taking had to go. I have a pencil and a bunch of papers next to my screen when I'm in the office.
On the other hand, I know a lot of people who hate writing. This is mainly because of bad childhood memories, as they were forced in a bad way to learn and exercise it. They use a note taking app or their phones to take notes. Some of them also use this opportunity to peek at their phone notifications, but let's not judge them.
Finally, it is worth noting that I don't write that much. I usually use pencil and paper during the planning phase, when having actual, working code is not necessary yet. Instead, I write and draw diagrams on how to do it. Then, I transform it to some primitive code, and start refactoring it. At the end, I don't use more than two sheets of paper in a week.
Yes, always. For me, I'm what people usually call a "visual thinker" I have to see things visually for me to understand them. So usually I do a lot of drawings and sketches and notes.
But one thing I do after, which I think is important is to convert those things into a digital format, usually by taking a photo with my phone, put it on a online note tool (evernote or similar) because if you make some notes or drawings at home... about something for work (that you just had an idea) you will probably forget it at home.
And if you try to use the GTD methodology (getting things done), one of the important rules is to have one source of truth, one place where all info is.... (cannot be ur brain).
I love to have handwritten notes, it gives me the chance to organise my crazy ideas or to list the solutions I think will work. Since I can get distracted easily, going back to my notes helps me to get back on track. I also have a nice small notebook with grid pages, so it's fun to doodle pixel art there.
Fun fact: When I was in college I was too tired to keep coding, but I left myself a note before I went to sleep. The next morning when I woke up I reviewed my code, I was afraid it wasn't working until I saw my note from the night before... and that saved my project! (Thanks Tired Me™, you were always reliable!) haha
