I document in my workplace, and I love the idea of documenting things outside the workplace.
Inside the workplace, I find that people mostly don’t read documentation, but I write it anyway, because I tend to go back to it as a reference, and I can point others to it when they ask questions.
This is what I do. I don't write docs for other people, I write them for myself. I find them most useful for processes that are intricate but that I won't have need to do for months at a time. (Looking at you, server certs)
