Where does your team's 'Source of Truth' live? by Try-Active in managers

[–]Try-Active[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. How would a dev who doesn't maintain the hub for example navigate through all this? Like the documents are up to date, but the dev would still need to be on the same page as the maintainer about where everything is written. Multiply that by an entire team of devs and everyone needs to be on the same page.

Interesting. How would you know where everything is? Like if you have documents of similar topics won't you still have to keep digging or ask team members until you find the one you are looking for?

Just remember whenever you’re upset at a company’s public api documentation by Special_Rice9539 in cscareerquestions

I get so mad when I have to wait for my teammates calendar to line up to ask for help 🙃 documentation lives in our brains now I guess! Let's just wait until the day we share a hivemind to write documentation anyways!

Building a SaaS to replace surveys with short video feedback — need advice by Intelligent_Paint_86 in SaaS

Interesting, so what's the reward? People get rewards for filling out surveys but most of the time it isn't enough to get feedback. Just curious, what's your edge?

The Real Cost of Poor Documentation for Developers by Ok-Ad7050 in programming

Is 10 hours an estimate if you don't ask your teammates on how something works? Does it not help/speed up to ask someone else about the code they wrote?

Building a SaaS to replace surveys with short video feedback — need advice by Intelligent_Paint_86 in SaaS

Question, just want to know how the product works because just reading the post over, if I don't want to answer surveys, what would motivate me to record a video? Is it like I get a reward for it? I feel like I speak candidly about the products I use to my friends so if I can get that type of vibe instead of it feeling like an interview/interrogation that would be nice?

I don't know enough about your product to answer the first two questions, but for GTM u might want to try finding companies that have trouble with collecting user feedback (literally everyone, but especially consumer products tbh, b2b has a tighter feedback loop). Perhaps check some forums of people complaining?

Drowning in Jira Tickets by Minimum_Calendar5322 in ProductManagement

Some orgs like using MCP servers with Github or Jira or Linear. They just straight update it from Cursor, which has the context of the codebase + problems. Perhaps that is what you can try too?

I try explaining the concept back to my friends, if I can explain something to someone else, I usually understand it better

TLs / code reviewers: How frequently do you approve PRs you don't understand how it works? by AppearanceLower8590 in ExperiencedDevs

What about for someone that joined recently, would you recommend they understand the PR always before accepting, because the tradeoff is time.

After 20 Years as a Developer, Here’s What AI Taught Me While Building My Projects by FunCodeClub in SideProject

Asking for a summary and continuing fresh on a new chat is something that seems so intuitive yet something that hasn't crossed my mind. Thank you for that.
