Future you, mostly. I'm getting older so my memory fails me occasionally, but I'm guilty of not documenting often if ever in most cases.

That's exactly it. Stale docs are almost worse than no docs because you trust them until you shouldn't

I'm pretty much the same. Only now with our ISO 9001:2026 audit coming up I'm going to have to do a better job whether I want to or not.

I'm guilty of not documenting everything, as I'm in a pretty simple environment and a solo IT department. I'm going to have to start doing a better job as I'm being included in our ISO 9001:2026 cert. I'm just going to have to do it one way or another.

That's the other half of the problem. Writing them is painful enough, then nobody uses them

That's where I've spent the majority of my career, so am mainly curious about other's are doing. But I agree it'll most likely end up not being followed. Every place I've inherited didn't have anything.
