    That’s why we keep notes… Literate DevOps is a solution for my preferred editor, but there definitely are solutions for other tools too, even if they don’t work exactly the same.

    I can’t recommend keeping notes too much.

      I mean thats great but finding the notes is always a chore to because so much has been done between now and then and there are a lot of stuff done with their own notes. We are actually required to document in like 3 different ways although we don’t need to do all 3 all the time. informal, formal internal, formal customer.

        I’m not going to argue, because I don’t know your work environment, but the notes I mentioned weren’t supposed to be published or attached to the product. They’re more of a personal knowledge base, where you can look up former approaches, issues found in the past, reasoning, decisions with context… All the zettelkasten tools out there do exactly that: help maintaining a useful knowledge base.
