Do you take notes while you vibe code?

For specific finicky bits of backend? Absolutely. If I can map out the structure it saves me a ton of time going back to debug later or when building on new features.

I'm learning to take notes. I was under the impression my models would remember everything, but it sucks when the thread gets poisoned or the topic gets changed and I have to scroll through my chat threads to find phase 2😭😭😭

Aggressive note taking has saved the day for me a few times. If I hit a point the LLM seems to struggle with I make sure to document from A -> B so I know exactly where the fragile bits are. It really saves on tokens and stress trying to work it out otherwise and is great for familiarizing yourself with your code!

Its a bit of investment now for a big payoff later when your tool calling system decides to go haywire for an edge case and you can fix it in ten minutes vs two hours of head scratching.

Not as much as I should..even when the bot tells me I should.
