Docs Don’t Write Themselves… Or Do They?

Why is documentation always an afterthought?
Because developers hate writing it, no one reads it, and most of it is outdated by the time it hits the wiki.

In this talk, we go back to basics — with templates, tooling, and a look at why documentation fails in real teams, and what we can do about it. From forgotten READMEs to cryptic code comments and “TODO: write later”, we’ll laugh through the common sins of dev docs and talk honestly about how to fix them.

We’ll also take a realistic look at how tools like Microsoft AI Agent can automatically update and improve documentation when code changes, bringing the Docs-as-Code philosophy to life. You’ll leave with practical ideas, a few AI tricks, and renewed motivation to stop treating documentation like a punishment.
