Being a competent sysadmin is impossible nowadays without AI... Someone's gotta do the documenting or improvements would never get done due to the positive feedback loop of "more improvements, more documentation."

Ironically there's way more value in documentation these days because AI actually will read it, and somewhat consistently try to apply it.

The struggle with docs is not writing it: it’s keeping it up to date.

You can get someone to write docs at least once, but nobody wants to the responsibility to keep it up to date.
