Document Everything

My work days look very different than they did two years ago.

I’m now managing countless scripts, four production apps, developing one, and planning another. All data-heavy, all solving niche problems.

The hardest part isn’t building them. It’s making sure they’re still understandable and maintainable six months from now.

My new core belief: document everything.

I document because I want systems that work even when I don’t.

Right now, my focus is on:

• Refactoring and deploying early automation scripts to Cloud Run
• Creating detailed runbooks for every application
• Detailing the why behind key architectural decisions

This is the difference between duct-tape fixes and sustainable infrastructure.

Next step: indexing all of it into a knowledge base chatbot that helps our team quickly understand the logic driving our systems in six months, or in six years.
