Conversations in real life get deleted after 0s! The trick is to not use chat as documentation. Documentation as documentation is way more useful. The process of creating it is valuable to
clear thinking too.
- HPsquared 4y agoIt's such a boost though, to have everything recorded and searchable by default.
- okdood64 4y agoSure, maybe in some ideal world where everyone has unlimited time to write documentation. Sometimes it's just nice just to be like "Oh what exactly did that person say/link a few days ago? Seemed relevant to what I'm working on, let me search the chat history..."
- quickthrower2 4y agoIt is the opposite, you need unlimited time play he said/she said yoyo driven development if you don't document things. The compression ration might be 1000 words said to 20 words written, so it is no big deal. A 2% tax that is well worth it (assuming speaking and typing speeds are similar). YMMV if the team is very small, very smart and everyone has a great memory or the problem domain is tidy.
