That’s how I often use documentation - start documenting something, then ask myself “should the code be fixed to avoid the need to document this part? Yes, yes it should”.

A long provisioning instruction became much shorter as a result of automating it by reducing the need to document.

Are you pitching less documentation or none? It doesn’t seem like codebases are better when the architecture is unwritten.

As little as feasible, but no less than that.
