I completely agree! I'd love if you check out our competitor; it's a hosted version of Wiki.js that's a lot easier to use than Confluence. It also supports direct diagramming in SVG (Draw.io built-in). http://miki.

Thank you for your kind reply. I totally agree better doc is needed to tie the actual code to its intended functions and architecture. One problem I've had repeatedly with writing this kind of doc is that it immediately goes out of dat

Agreed. You also need real work experience in fixing your own (and other peoples') broken software and in supporting customers through the entire software lifecycle. It's like reading about firefighters versus actually putting out

I can answer this. You do indeed have to offer the product "for sale," even if it's free. To get our trademark[0] for downloadable (free) software, we had to prove that we were advertising and offering the product for downloa

This is spot-on! It took a year to get our trademarks for our open source software, including negotiating with another claimant and waiting for yet another potential claimant to drop out of the race. It was not fun or cheap but totally wort

What's in them? Edit: Thinking more about it... The only thing I can think I would want in a low level design document would be something like extended comments on how a module or function works -- but if you need too much of this you

An 8 minute video that claims to be comprehensive is a bad sign. After he spent the first minute explaining the same thing 3 times (that being which decade he's talking about), I gave up.

It's true! The Reedy Creek Improvement District is something totally unique within the US. I think they got away with it because it was Walt and his business and social acumen were already known, even his environmentalism (trash contro

The basic formula would be COGS + CAC * Markup. Where COGS is the Cost of Goods Sold, what it costs you to make the product or deliver the service. CAC is Customer Acquisition Cost, or what it costs you to get a new customer. Different indu

It seems that the natural gas stations were not weatherized for this, and that sort of makes sense from a business perspective. Few people would plan for snow in Houston while setting up their buildings or equipment. It just didn't mak

Thank you for this! I had never heard of these and I hate Bezier curves. I can never figure out how to manipulate them. The history in this Wikipedia article is fascinating, too, and how "splines" came to be from wood models. htt
