Thomas Eckert (Dec 07 2024 at 19:39):So much great stuff in this episode. I love the different perspectives. I did feel that Gerhard got a little shut out in places. This may be due to Justin and Autumn just having such great chemistry, but I noticed we did not hear Gerhard for the entirety of “Host for fun vs enterprise” which is a 7:42 gap.
The focus on documentation is key though. And I will save this episode to come back to.
Lars Ellingsen (Dec 12 2024 at 05:01):I really enjoyed this episode... And it brought up a bunch of thoughts:
Thomas you're not wrong on that point, although Gerhard did have a nice lengthy response of his own to that section after listening to all the points (which is pretty in character for him)
Andrew O'Brien (Dec 13 2024 at 04:35):Re: the importance of documentation
Where do people put theirs?
I find I have trouble with people reading anything besides the top level README (and even then…). Or if there’s a docs/ directory people are reluctant to add one thing because they don’t know whether to create a new page, how to organize it with the others, etc. Or if there’s a wiki it’s inevitably out of sync with the code in some major way.
What’s working for all you high functioning documenters?
Matthew Sanabria (Dec 13 2024 at 05:32):I find the where not to matter nearly as much as whether the documentation itself is up to date and easily scannable/searchable/organized.
Matthew Sanabria (Dec 13 2024 at 05:33):Oh and also ease of updating documentation. If it's behind some pull request flow that takes 2 reviewers plus CI plus deployments every other Wednesday then that needs to be fixed immediately.

That is a super great point. He is a listener.

I agree. I detest the software we use for wiki/documentation management, but because everyone uses it, just adding to it adds some marginal value rather than using something that is operationally better.
