One thing that stood out to me was the aspect of having a strong culture of writing. Could anyone talk about how Stripe's culture of writing works a bit more? How does this manifest in things like product decisions/direction, setting technical direction, designing systems/APIs, etc?

In particular I'd like to know how document management happens, are these just Google Docs? I've participated in some OSS projects with Googlers and they love to put together crazy heavy Google Docs.

Do you mind sharing some examples of these Google Docs and what their contents are? My current workplace seems to be running on the mantra of "do first, document later... make that never" and I'm trying to change it by stressting high-quality documentations and clearly documented requirements.
