LEVELS – A Whole New Level

#100 - Why documentation is important for engineering teams | Maxine Whitely, Steph Coates, Ian Schumann, & Ben Grynol


Listen Later

Creating consistent and cohesive documentation is key for the Levels engineering team. But that’s easier said than done. Ben Grynol talked with some of our software engineers, Maxine Whitely, Steph Coates, and Ian Schumann, to break down their approach to documentation. They talked about why it matters for an asynchronous remote team, how it mirrors building healthy habits, and why it’s worth it to invest in documentation now for everyone on the team as well as how it will benefit future engineers as we scale.
