Documentation Sounds Like an Annoying, Boring Thing
Maybe you feel that documenting the project or your code is an extra annoying step. Often, documentation for projects is outdated and irrelevant. In such cases, most of the expertise is hidden in analysts or just developers. In this article I'll try to explain why having a good documentation culture will make projects much more stable and successful.

It takes time to write a quality manual, but it's worth it because it solves many problems at once, including slow onboarding processes, slow communication, single-person projects, and lack of team support.
