📖 Documentation Superpowers
Nov 15, 2023Ever feel like writing documentation is a chore? Think again! It's a hidden gem in our workflow, and here's why:
1. Faster Velocity: Skip the hassle of scheduling meetings for information. Dive into the docs and get going! ⚡️
2. Fewer Meetings: Save time for everyone. More time for productivity, less for meetings. 📅
3. Less Reliance on Tribal Knowledge: A robust documentation system unveils the 'big picture', allowing you to zoom into any system aspect without playing the 'who knows what' game.
4. Easier & Faster Onboarding: New hires can focus human conversations on the interesting parts of their learning, not just the basics, making their integration smoother.
5. Better Decision Making: 💡 Utilizing design documents like RFCs fosters broad involvement, enhancing decision quality across the organization. (Check out this guid on writing technical specs: https://buff.ly/2wo6J14)
6. Corporate Memory: Keeping track of our choices (the dos and don'ts) creates a historical record, guiding future decisions. 🐘
Lastly, with tools like LLMs (e.g., ChatGPT) and IDE integrations, creating documentation is simpler than ever!
