Do you still write notes with pen and paper? (programming.dev)

With so much note taking apps nowadays, I can't understand why does anyone still write notes with pen and paper. You need to bring the notepad, book or that paper to retrieve that information, and most of the time you don't have it in hand. While my phone almost always reachable and you carry when you go out. For those still like to do handwriting, there's many app does that and they can even convert it to text notes.

So, if you still write notes with pen and paper, why?

No, it's more of a subtle, inflationary pressure.

For me, it's the act of writing, the memory it helps solidify, and... being an FP nerd.

Can I take notes on a phone? Sure, but I wouldn't use a personal device for work notes, ever. Between my privacy, customer privacy laws, and separation of concerns. I've no compunctions at all, though, about sharing an A5 notebook between journal, work notes, personal notes, and reminders.
