In go tasks, troubleshooting attempts, outcomes, links, etc. Then I copy+paste into github issues, commit messages, and wiki articles as needed (part of my deliverables, as @LeifCarrotson puts it).
* No vendor lock-in, no lag, no migration issues.
* Never have duplicate typing because of copy+paste.
* Get a daily history of your work going back into time in a light, portable, ubiquitous format.
* Recover from accidentally hitting the back button while writing a Jira ticket.
* Be able to precisely answer "What did you work on last week" (or last Monday when you logged out of VPN, or anything else)
