I indulge in daily notes but make and organize them (mostly) topically. Dates are obfuscated, "discreete" if you will; they are, or can always be made, visible if so desired. The notion of "not asking the same question twice" is laughable to anyone who interrogates different structures based on the same parameter(s), e. g. for comparative purposes. And daily notetaking based on a date-based organization principle is of course widely applicable, e. g. for (project) diaries, "to-be-sorted" infodumps, etc. But then again, I find most programmer's notions of notetaking to be quite tedious, often bordering on the literally void. ;)
