Wow - I applaud the effort but that's... a lot.
I have frequently used notebooks to sketch out high-level ideas and designs which in itself seems to be a rarity. But at the "It's detailed enough that someone else could come along and replicate the steps" level is unfathomable to me.
Having to write out what I'm going to do on a physical medium is orders of magnitude slower than typing it out and would just take ages. Maybe it's just a lack of discipline thing but for me coding is a ton of trial / error / re-write. I refactor code constantly. But it has inspired me to maybe keep more of a log "generally" for things I've been working on. It can be useful to be able to refer back to notes rather than needing to dig through emails or git logs hoping to find some rational for a decision...
