Documenting Your Work for Worry-Free Vacations

Hello friends
Our next event is on 8/19 at 7PM CST and we are taking a break from technical topics. (I still need to get you the Zoom link since Microsoft's Teams tenant is no longer available for user groups)

It seems like every time I take a few days off, something at the office breaks. As a Lone DBA for over four years this terrified me. Even after I moved into a larger team of DBAs with a proper on-call rotation, I took the work laptop with me on vacation and compulsively checked my phone.

Writing support documentation finally put my mind at ease. It may not be the most glamorous thing to do, but it pays off. Writing, maintaining, and promoting support documentation for the systems I built and supported not only put my mind at ease, but helped me understand them better.

In this session, you’ll learn about what led me down this path, how I’ve evolved my thinking about where I write my documentation, and the tools that I use. You’ll also learn tricks to keeping things up to date and making this information readily accessible to other people when they need it most.

In the meantime, as a part of our "Day of Data and AI" on December 5; on December 4th(Friday) we have a full day workshop
"Building Relable AI conducted by Microsoft's own David Pless. The cost is $100 only. With this registration you can automatically be registered for the Saturday event.
