You Should Document More: A Manifesto

AI summary of the linked article

This manifesto urges readers to document their lives, arguing that documentation drives civilization's progress and lets a person's experiences outlast them. It claims that written, photographed and journaled records act as a personal time machine and a legacy for descendants, and it encourages people to record their failures as well as their successes. The text also says that sharing one's own documentation, rather than only absorbing others' content, is a way to contribute to shared knowledge. It is signed by "GRITCULT."

Yes, this is true, and yet I have spent so little time actually documenting Kiwi News.
In fact, documentation is something that fascinates me because I can spot really great docs, but it is their level of detail and clarity, and their capability to serve purpose that makes them excellent.
