I have a head full of stuff that hasn’t had time to be documented, and being a single point of knowledge isn’t job security, it’s a major risk.
My code gets documented. But so much infrastructure is just held in my head as senior SysAdmin. Wherever possible I just have a ride-along “up-skilling” (works like a RAID mirror for my brain).
What a moron.
My company hired me specifically to help get everything from the only guy who knows the system documented.
Well, that’s how it started, at least.
I need a documenter!

I’ve tried to make documentation, it got nuked while I was away, now I hide it all in the source code as doxygen mark-up.
I’m now the “expert” on doxygen.
