[Verse 1] Sarah stares at tangled code, three months old and cryptic cold No comments left, no breadcrumb trail, just mysteries that make her wail The architect who built this maze has vanished without leaving traces Now the system breaks at dawn, and understanding's nearly gone [Chorus] Document what matters, make it crystal clean ADRs for choices, runbooks for machines Onboard like you're guiding friends through your front door Write it, test it, keep it fresh - that's what docs are for Make it searchable, make it true Documentation that works for me and you [Verse 2] Marcus joins the team today, excitement fading fast away Setup guides from twenty-eighteen, half the tools aren't even seen Slack becomes his lifeline now, asking "how" and "why" and "wow" Veteran devs grow tired and stressed, answering the same requests [Chorus] Document what matters, make it crystal clean ADRs for choices, runbooks for machines Onboard like you're guiding friends through your front door Write it, test it, keep it fresh - that's what docs are for Make it searchable, make it true Documentation that works for me and you [Bridge] Architecture Decision Records tell the "why" Not just what we built, but reasons we can't deny Runbooks for the midnight calls when servers start to cry Step by step instructions so nobody has to fly blind [Verse 3] Living docs that grow and breathe, updated when the code receives New features, fixes, changes too, keeping knowledge fresh and new Templates guide the writing hand, formats everyone can understand Link related pages tight, make the information bright [Final Chorus] Document what matters, make it crystal clean ADRs for choices, runbooks for machines Onboard like you're guiding friends through your front door Write it, test it, keep it fresh - that's what docs are for Make it searchable, make it true Documentation that works for me and you Documentation that works for me and you
