The corporate culture does not allow appropriate time for the documentation as it is considered something that cost money without a quantifiable gain.
It permeates in the FOSS space as well since writing good documentation is a skill and it is not fostered in corporations. So devs start great projects with terrible documentation.
Does anyone know of any good resources on writing good documentation? It’s a thing I’m weirdly passionate about and absolutely want to get better at for my own sanity and for others as well if I can contribute.
But it seems like it’s a very under discussed subject…
Veronica Explains has a really good video talking about how much of a dead skill it is now from the standards it used to be.
