Small Victories
I got a nice compliment from our Lead Developer today. We were comparing notes about folks on the team and he said that what makes me different from other people on the team is that I'll actually try to do things myself instead of just taking a developer's word for it. What makes my documentation solid is that I try to understand what I'm talking about before I write it down.
I asked him something that's always tickled in the back of my mind, "do you mind that it takes that much longer for me to write some stuff as a result? Do you mind answering all of the questions that I ask?" He answered that he didn't mind because the time they spend with me visibly goes into the product.
I've always maintained that the install guides that I'm currently working on are team guides since so many people on the team contribute to it. I just cut out a lot of the junk and put things into a logical order. It's really gratifying to know that it's noticed and appreciated though.
Go team!
