Where the top comment is about docs being out-of-date, not relevant or difficult to find across multiple systems. This is obviously undesirable, but is not the norm. The norm is endless meetings without minutes/conclusions which result in tacit knowledge that nobody bothers to share before they leave the co/org and then the new person looks bad because the project is impossible to maintain when the “10x Dev” who left behind a steaming pile that kind worked but had almost no tests or docs and nobody who isn’t then will understand without weeks of unpicking. 🙄

good docs in a single source of truth beats meetings every time.
