Confluence, Notion, Wikis, etc.

Do you all rely on people writing things down as they go? or do you have some automated system?

  • People. Time is carved out for both documentation and its review, like a PR review. Otherwise, how would you trust what is being documented? A human must remain in the loop if accuracy is a component of success criteria for organization documentation. I say this familiar with Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern.

    • On a past team of mine we used to bake documentation into our definition of done for user stories. If the doc wasn’t written/updated, then it wasn’t done. It was tough for some people at first, but after a while it became second nature for them. We also learned that it takes far longer to write that stuff than anyone estimates.
