Hi, I work on a variety of things, most of which I talk about more on my blog than on social media. Here, you’ll probably find me talking mostly talking about Free Culture works and sometimes technology.

My half-solution to this has always been to refer to where I’m working in my notes, like a file, method name, and maybe control structure if warranted. I’ve never needed to take that final step (hence half-solution), but this carries about enough information that someone could hack together a quick program to merge the notes and code in a reasonable way.
While (as I say) I’ve never specifically needed it, though, at work I’ve often wanted to do that and take the next step of sifting through version control, the ticketing system, and team chats to pull a complete view of what’s been happening around a particular chunk of code. I point that all out, because I think that you’re on the right track, however you ultimately solve that problem for yourself.
