OK I need to say this out loud to somebody to make sure I am actually saying it:@dtauvdiodr Make notes for yourself on a wiki page, as you encounter things you think should be written down, don’t spent too much time on it or making it pretty, but track traffic to it. Don’t tell your manager it’s documentation. Other people will end up using it, so you end up with evidence supporting your position.
