Is Documentation Like Pineapple on Pizza?

Software documentation is often controversial among developers, with many avoiding it despite its importance. Key issues include lack of immediate value, insufficient feedback, and perceived overhead. To improve practices, leaders should promote documentation's value and make it part of team deliverables. Using lightweight tools like Markdown and adopting a "Docs as code" approach can encourage creation and maintenance. Assigning documentation owners and establishing periodic reviews helps prevent outdated content. Providing suitable tools, templates, and processes can make documentation less burdensome and more appreciated.
