Docs as Code Is A Broken Promise

Presented by

Sarah Moir > Hosts: Patrick Bosek and Scott Abel

About this talk

Join us for a chat with Sarah Moir, Senior Technical Writer at Sigma Computing, as we delve into the realities of the Docs as Code philosophy—a method that promises to integrate documentation seamlessly into software development workflows using the same tools and processes. While appealing in theory, the practical application often falls short. On this episode of Coffee and Content, we'll explore the inherent challenges, including the complexity of Git, inconsistent documentation tools, and the need for significant custom tooling, that impact technical documentation teams that adopt the Docs as Code approach. You'll discover why Docs as Code may not be a one-size-fits-all solution for technical documentation and learn about the adjustments needed to truly fulfill its promise. Whether you're a technical writer, software developer, or documentation manager, this discussion will provide insights into the complexities of implementing Docs as Code effectively. Each 60-minute episode is recorded live. On-demand recordings are made available shortly after the live show ends. Can’t make it?
