"oh, I put this in our Confluence years ago, haven't you seen it?"

Oh, fuck you.

Are you quoting me? Years ago, I used to be a fan of confluence and made a great effort for good documentation, only to find out that my coworkers never noticed, or those who did joked that confluence is a write-only system.

So I moved to the README.md camp then.

Oh - sure. I created a confluence space with all the info years ago.
...
What? You can't find it?
...
Sure - I will take a look. Mmmm. Can't find it either. Lets call IT.
...
Dafuq? you IT morons deleted the old confluence instance? Why??
...
No one was using it. Ohhhh. So all those docs?
...
To shreds, you say?
...
Sorry dude. Have fun, and good luck, figuring out how to install that 8 year old OS without the docs! You might consider updating to a newer version!

Isn’t it funny how all of us try so hard lol
