I wish it wasn’t. Ideally having a central knowledge base for your project with all sorts of features sounds amazing.
Then you get confluence, where loading a si gle page somehow takes 7 seconds, and your documentation is split among dozens of pages each if which take equally as long or longer to load.
Folders take like 3-4 seconds to unfold and reveal what documents are inside.
Confluence, the place where you do a bunch of documentation and then later forget you wrote it or can’t find it anymore and have to rewrite it all in a separate Confluence folder only to repeat it all later?
My team at work has several different team docs folders ranging from severely outdated to new but soon to be outdated
Except worse: Confluence tries insanely hard to prevent anyone actually getting at the document source code. So you are expected to use the godawful interactive web editor to make any changes.
Confluence is implied as being part of the lower parts of the pyramid yeah?
God, confluence is so fukcing dogshit.

It’s such a piece of shit
Remember open source wikis? Twiki?
They were much better. More functional, faster, intuitive.
Corporates got rid of those and Atlassian got rich

I dont get confluence. It just looks like a group of github readmes

Clearly you’ve not had to use the home grown documentation methods.
Do you leave auto formatting on and deal with Confluence making bad decisions, or leave it off and have to manually set all the formatting?
I go for the second option, but I’m not sure it’s less irritating or not.
