Friendly note there are good electron apps.
They didn't say whether electron was good or bad. Just that this app is one.
Specifically, it allows lazy dev teams to deploy lazy "apps."

The git commit message: `"Updating $DS entry on $TS"`
Surely git commits are timestamped anyway?
First one was to get rid of always thinking about a commit message.
Second, I can use git blame and understand the order of things I've inserted w/o headaches. Past information gets agglutinated and I needed granularity specially during long work hours
Which time stamp is better in your opinion?
Also with an eye scan I can see how much I've updated on a single note

The problem for me isn't that I can't find a note taking app that works. My problem is I don't know how to take notes. I always read on people favoring apps and using xyz for the past decade. All I wonder is what do these people put in their notes, do they read back often, and how can I learn to get my state of mind in a note taking app like they do?
You need to try different things and see what works for you and what doesn't. Your personal preference could be even customized to the situation, so you might want to use GTD for work and some other system for your personal life.
So how I did it is tried one option (blogging about everything), then tweaked it (blogging about something), then tweaked it again (leaning towards messy notes, away from blog drafts), then tweaked it again (Markdown brain dumb of all the things that I think I might need in a day/week/month/year), and again (some of the notes about a random topic get detailed enough to write a blog post about it).
And the reason I've mentioned blogging so much is that, when trying to tell a story about the topic, I often find some previously unnoticed gaps in my knowledge. So that's kind of "reading notes, re-writing notes in such a way that I'm telling a story" style that currently works for me the best. YMMV

They are indeed, but this pattern solved a few issues I had. First one was to get rid of always thinking about a commit message. Second, I can use git blame and understand the order of things I've inserted w/o headaches.

I didn't say it in my above post, no, but I'll say it in this one: Electron is bad. Specifically, it allows lazy dev teams to deploy lazy "apps."
Before Electron, the quality of the average cross-platform app was generally atrocious. e.g. lack of support for retina displays, menu bars attached to the window, system fonts totally missing, non-system file pickers, ugly homegrown font rendering...
Electron is amazing and as much as people like to shit on it, it has raised the quality bar considerably.
I've seen a glut of developer note taking apps lately and every time I see them I wonder, why not just use something like org mode? That's one of the biggest things emacs has to offer and once you start to use it, all of these markdowny developer note taking apps become irrelevant.
