Before starting, write.

2 Some ideas about documentation

2.1 Start

Start: always start. No matter what. Start small, if necessary. Start bad, if necessary. Start in a piece of paper, if necessary. But start.

2.2 Document is paramount

Good documentation is key: always apply pareto. Good documentation is the basis for everything: learning, coding, communicating and growing. No make a mistake: document is paramout.

2.3 Make documenting easy

Choose the right documentation tools: quarto

2.4 It is an habit

It is an habit: make it a part of your culture, part of your code, part of your habits. So code and document. Document and code:

  • Timing: learn the when. Document the right things at the right time is very relevant: it allow you to get in the documenting flow.
  • When you hare happy with a nice solution: explain it to yourserlf and document.
  • When you think it is a relevant knowledge: explain it to yourserlf and document.
  • Explain the decision-making to get to that solution: explain the why. And how do you get there.
  • Regarding that solution, that note, that writing with your context. Remember: Lateralization. Iterate.
  • Keep it simple
