Like soup-to-nuts. I know I need to document what I’m doing and I’ve started several times, but then I never go back and make updates. I don’t know if it’s just the ADHD or if I’m just going about it or thinking about it in the wrong way.
So I’m curious about:
- what you use for your documentation
- how you organize it
- what information you include
- how you work documentation into your changes/tinkering flow
Edit: Dang, folks! You all have given me a lot to read through, think about, and explore. Thank you!
“I don’t need to, I have it stored all in my head.”
Famous last words.
It’s not like anyone needs to support it when I’m gone.
“I can remember that” is my cue to write it down, because I won’t.
Documentation is for onboarding other people. Why on earth would I need to onboard other people to something self-hosted?
Sometimes future me has the memory of a goldfish, and I fear that, for future me, the online sources that guided me before won’t be there for me anymore
