I started keeping a development journal when I found myself getting interrupted quite a bit more than usual. It turned out to be very helpful but somewhat tedious to maintain at the level I would have liked.
I had some ideas about how to write software to automate some of the tedium and how great it would be if there were a large scale system that many developers used for tracking their work. If this system existed it could compare and contrast techniques and approaches used by more productive developers and help guide less productive developers down the path to improved productivity.
It seems like it would also provide a pretty good automatic Stack Overflow like experience in terms of being able to search for error messages and find the steps others had taken to solve the same problems.
