I’ve also worked for big tech companies. On one of my teams, all those docs are written by college hires as a “learning opportunity” and they’re surface level only. Outside of medical or financial systems, I’m guessing most of those docs aren’t worth their weight in bytes. Here is one conversation I’ve heard: “We stream our logs [full of PII] to a central repo. Do we need to include that in our docs?” “No. It’s just logging. It’s a standardized tool we use. It’s probably assumed. Just include the database and known clients.”.
