I also feel like agile methodology, which is becoming more common, works against documentation with the fail fast fail often philosophy. If your feedback loop with your stakeholder is rapid, then changes to the design plan are often and rapid as well, which requires more documentation change overhead, which makes documentation even less appealing.
In fact SAFe Agile emphasizes working software over comprehensive documentation.
SAFe Agile can go fuck itself. It's the worst of everything, isn't actually agile and is a disease infesting corporations who don't know any better.
All these methodologies and philosophies are all invented so a few people can sell books, training and lectures.
I feel like agile is better for Apps (which requires very little documentation usually, no one wants to read a help guide for an app), compared to Libraries which are literally unusable without documentation.
