Showerthought: I used to write down every frame on a tiny notepad, now I just trust the roll

Back when I got my Pentax K1000 in 2019 I kept a little pad in my bag and wrote down the shutter speed and f-stop for all 36 shots, then matched them up after the lab scanned the roll. Somewhere around roll 40 last winter I got lazy and quit doing it, and honestly my hit rate barely changed at all. Does anyone still keep a shot log, or did you all give it up too?
