Documentation

from GeekNights Mondays: Science Technology Computing Hosted by Rym and Scott - The Front Row Crew

Tonight on GeekNights, we consider documentation. Client documentation, user guides, service runbooks, developer notes, and the like. We've previously covered Documentation Systems, as well as in a game design lecture on game rules. In the news, Rym finally dressed up as Zed from Zardoz, Facebook's name change to "Meta" isn't fooling anyone, a theoretical unicode-based attack on compilers is being patched, Roblox had a massive outage, and the LIRR is now able to run trains into Grand Central Terminal, a feat of engineering in the making since 1963. This is also the 16th anniversary episode of GeekNights! We started on October 31 2005, and we made "beta" episodes well before that!
