Thanks for this, Ian!

I’m one of those programmers who rarely write documentation, I even skip docstrings sometimes (honestly surprised my boss hasn’t fired me for this yet). But now that I’ve started building things on my own, I’m re-learning a lot of previously learned concepts, and I’m realizing just how important good documentation really is.

By the way, how did you come across the very first version of the Next.js docs? I actually found it super helpful, even in its early form.

I'm glad you found it useful. I got the very first version of the Next.js docs from the Wayback Machine 😅 (if that is what you asking).

We have a docs team, but devs write a majority of the docs at PostHog. See: https://posthog.com/handbook/content-and-docs/docs
