Nothing shared like this. But I have kept daily logs, first as text file. Currently I do this using quiver (a multi-noteobok editor). I create a notebook called worklog and each day I put in a short list of planned actvities and then I copy/paste a lot of details below as I move through the day. Code snippets, log snippets, bits of conversation. Along with my own notes of what I tried and observed.

Currently, I'm sort of split between three tools. Omnifocus (a GTD manager) for tracking all the tasks, quiver for notes through the day, and then I use [emergent task planner], a paper based task planner for the days tasks. As much as omnifocus/gtd helps me track things, I found using paper to block out each hour of the workday ahead of time really helps me focus. If I find myself losing focus, I can refer to that and (usually) get myself back on track.
