Navigating the Documentation Dilemma: How to Help Developers Find Context and Save Time

· 01:23

|

Welcome to the podcast! Today, we’re diving into the ongoing struggle developers face with documentation. Did you know that 64% of developers spend over 30 minutes daily searching for information? That’s time that adds up to weeks of lost productivity each year. The real issue isn’t just outdated docs; it’s about context.

Developers often need quick answers about how and why code works, not just structured documentation. As the article states, "Documentation alone rarely provides the full picture." Technical details may be scattered over various platforms like Slack, GitHub, and Confluence, making it hard to find relevant information.

Centralized documentation seems like a fix, but it isn’t that simple. “You don’t need a single source of truth for documentation,” says the article, emphasizing that effective solutions must surface context when needed. Tools like Unblocked capture knowledge from all the places developers work, providing instant answers without interrupting coworkers.

As Alex Mallet, EVP of Engineering at Forto, puts it, “Unblocked has made years of scattered documentation…useful and relevant.” If you’re eager to save time and enhance productivity, consider Unblocked’s approach to keeping developers informed and connected. That’s all for today! Thank you for tuning in.
