Document the right things

"Be selective about what you document and what you don't."

"Documenting everything leads to noise that is a burden to maintain over time"

Whether something is worth documenting or not (why something is worth documenting):

  • What common questions do you spend a lot of your time answering (in active context)?
  • What information is poorly understood by your team?
  • What information is neccessary for people to make informed decisions?

"Documentation isn't free; you bear a one-time cost for writing it and a recurring cosst for maintaining it forever."
