>> and since no developer enjoys updating docs
They may be rare, but this is not universally true! I have a staff developer who creates beautiful documentation, paired with hand drawn (tablet) diagrams. I never miss an opportunity to complement & thank him for his work, he really seems to enjoy it and it goes well with the role's mandate to level-up other developers. If you find a developer (especially a senior+) who likes to create and maintain documentation, treat them like gold!
Love this! Those people are definite force multipliers, but the fact that they're rare can end up putting a lot of burden on their shoulders. And yes, I definitely overgeneralized—while it's a running joke that developers hate writing docs, definitely not universally true!
