Ask HN: Using Sort as a Notepad

I have this very weird habit. During calls I type `sort` on the command line and start typing notes.

Am I the only one? No reason why it's sort, it's just quick and dirty to get something that ignores the text.

Same. But I use a simple script that archives the notes I typed in ~/.notes, so I can rg later if I need.
