Startups very often neglect the need to have proper technical documentation. In this post, I will try to explain why it is important and how to do it right without investing too much.
Your software is as good as its documentation. Even if it's a truism, it's worth remembering, especially when creating a SaaS solution with self-service capabilities and versatile APIs, or when building open-source (no, README.md in your GitHub is not sufficient).
Big tech companies know it very well. They invest significant money in creating and maintaining their documentation. They use dedicated tooling and have teams to build it. But what about startups? They are usually focused on building the product and acquiring customers. In this post, I give you my opinionated guide on how to create world-class documentation without investing.
Believe me, you can't afford to have bad documentation!

Summary of AI<>BA conference.
Another month, another conference. On October 25th, I had the pleasure of being a speaker at AI<>BA. The main focus of the conference was on business applications of AI. I was asked to give an introductory speech and define the common language - not an easy task, especially if you are used to speaking to a more technical audience. At the end of the day, I think it was beneficial for both - the audience and myself to have a chance to rethink the obvious and ask ourselves if we truly understood:
I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.

In this post, I will not summarize the conference but will try to summarize my practical observations.
