Org mode in emacs.

I will write markdown files in the repo for a project with some big picture things.

For learning stuff will do a test.c/cc/py/go/sh/Java file in ~

I use paper for very formless thought about more complex stuff that I am wrestling with.

With org mode I keep maintaining the file (lot of stuff is todos). The markdown files keep getting edited and linked to during the life of the project. Paper notebooks I have about five from 25 years of work and stack them in a drawer or so on. When I want to reminisce about some old cool thing I will leaf thru them, impressed at my cleverness and naïveté.

Before I got into org mode i would use Mac yellow stickies app, and delete when they went out of scope.
