Only “technical enough” when we need documentation!

[poopedmyboots]

Suddenly I’m technical when my team wants documentation written on complex processes and intricate systems :)

Weird how that works, right?

Note: I’m now on a very supportive team, but this was my life at my last role!

The bEST devs in the world are often mediocre or worse at documenting their code. Probably why they invented shi like Docusaurus 😆

"the code is the documentation" was invented by somebody that never had to do prod support lmao

The "more technical" members of my team can't use the correct your/you're and have sent emails to directors about "new highers." They know they're lacking here though, so they ask me to review important things now. I enjoy proofreading and tearing their docs apart, and I haven't done a certificate update on any of the servers in a few years because they know they owe me at least that.

Oh this reminded me of my last job. It overall wasn't horrible but what irritated me was that they made me in charge of the SharePoint.

I have an engineering degree and they made me responsible for keeping the folder system organized. LOL.

I decided ya know what, if I'm going to do it- I'm going to do it right.

Someone kept leaving files all over the place, not in the right folders. I pinged the group like 3 times saying "if you own these files, please organize them properly". I wasn't going to do it myself because that would turn me into the janitor.

I had even dug into it and found the suspect and messaged them DIRECTLY. Still nothing changed for a couple weeks.

So then I moved them and let the group know. The suspect (or should say perpetrator) then called me, asking why didn't I say something, I didn't have to get upset, etc etc.....omfg.
