    These often were solo written guides, too. Not wikis.

    Somewhere, a company employs one of these people, and they have the best documentation you’ve ever seen.

      There actually were usually citations of usernames that you never heard of that provided corrections and niche secrets.

      It was pretty neat.

      Whoever was the guy that wrote the Breath of Fire 2 walkthrough I read when I was 12 was a godsend for me.

      I was still learning English and his FAQ was so thorough and clear that I actually improved my vocabulary and grammar from using it.

      I keep spectacular documentation on personal projects because there’s no deadlines.

      If I get hit by a bus, my office will collapse because I ain’t got time to document shit.
