TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
It is likely that you'll understand it next week or next month or next quarter. Next year after you haven't worked with the app or the environment or the language is another matter. Documenting the why is simple courtesy to the next developer, and if you do the analysis you'll find that if five minutes spent now saves twenty minutes of puzzlement later it is a good investment.
You will also find that over the decades you memory degrades.
