As someone who is anal about writing documentation and wants to give a great big hug to whoever writes good documentation, this part made me chuckle:
"Nearly everyone understands this. Nearly everyone knows that they need good documentation, and most people try to create good documentation. And most people fail."
In my experience, no, most people I've worked with couldn't care less. It's sad. Some people can't even be bothered to write good bug reports, features requests, or tasks...
- Aeolun 6y agoMaybe it’s more that they try, but fail to find any motivation to write something as mind-numbingly boring as documentation?
- systematical 6y agoI guess I fail to see how writing documentation is boring. At least for software, I am writing about what I built. I am trying to help people use my software or library. If I value the product of my labor, how could that be boring?
