I wonder if engineers who never write just keep answering the same questions over and over again, but they're ok with that. I rarely expect people to read my docs before they ask me something because there's a lot to read, and they won't necessarily know what to attend to, but I save so much time if I can just point at stuff I've already written.

@2ck if I don't write good docs even I won't know what my code does 3-7 weeks from now

@zpartacoos
You mean, you write good docs like it's a blueprint for code you're going to write?

@2ck

@trinsec @2ck sometimes but even if it's a quick dirty solution oftentimes I need to document it well otherwise future self won't understand why I did something and get confused.
