Have you ever bought an electronic device and found the manual missing? It's frustrating, right? Documentation is the manual for your code.

You might write code today and think you'll remember it forever. But trust me, in six months, you will look at your own code and wonder, 'Who wrote this ogbono logic?'

Documentation is a gift you give to your future self and your teammates. It explains the 'why' behind what you did. Always leave a trail of breadcrumbs!
