We do a good job of evangelizing the different tools, environments, and ways to tackle problems in our space (that is, within WordPress development), but I often wonder how well we do for actually documenting our practices, procedures, and so on for others.
Sure, some companies open source their practices, and that’s great, but does every company? And should they?
Sometimes, I think people believe that if a company bases itself on open source, then they should have everything out in the open:
- Their software,
- Their practices,
- Their financials,
- And so on.
I don’t agree, but I do think there’s something to be said for documenting your practices within your team as this benefits both you, your teammates, and people you may end up bringing on to a project or on to your team for future work.
