In the dynamic landscape of developer experience, documentation often takes a back seat, relegated to a role of retrospective record-keeping.
This talk challenges the status quo by advocating for Documentation-Driven Development (DDD) as a pivotal, proactive force shaping the very essence of developer experience.
Beyond code implementation, we explore the continuous nature of documentation, presenting it as an ongoing dialogue rather than a static artifact.
We contend that this approach not only facilitates project evolution comprehension but also enriches team collaboration and knowledge sharing.
Join us on a journey taking a real life example into consideration, where documentation transcends its traditional role, becoming an active participant in the developer experience narrative—from initiation, through the development lifecycle, to ongoing refinement. Discover how embracing Documentation-Driven Development cultivates a richer, more cohesive, and ultimately more satisfying developer experience.

Documenting is one of my favourite topics so I can't help giving the highest rate to the brilliant presentation by Abi.
She talked about the importance of documenting code before writing it, to let the "whys'" be persisted for timeless reference and awareness.
To quote Cyrille Martraire: "each instruction typed in a programming language is a decision."
Abi expressed this concept and presented use cases and useful data supporting the Documentation Driven Development approach.
Excellent delivery and a very inspiring approach to documentation!
Very good talk
