Programming Throwdown, Episode 114, Code Documentation, with Omer, Rosenbaum, and Tim Post. Take it away, Jason.

Hey, everybody. This is an awesome show. I think code documentation is extremely, extremely important.

It gets more important as you move along in your career. So if you're just starting out, you could kind of catch you

by surprise. It might seem like if you're just programming a high school project that you're

turning in the next day, you might not realize like how incredibly, incredibly important it is.

But I can tell you as someone who's been programming for a long time, you know, I go back

and look at code that I've written, let's say, five years ago, and I have a bunch of documentation, and it feels actually really good. It's easy to jump into it. And when I look at code that I wrote, when I was a more junior engineer, I have no idea what's going on, and it's a total rewrite. So I can tell you firsthand, it's extremely important. It's also very difficult to do kind of efficiently and to make it kind of part of your

routine.

So it's a great topic to really dive deep into and spend a lot of time talking about.

And we're here with Omer Rosenbaum and Tim Post.

Omer is a CTO of Swim, which is a company that really focuses on the documentation ecosystem.

And Tim is the principal dev rel and user advocate for Swim.

So thank you both for coming on the show.

I really appreciate it.

It's great to be here.

Thank you for having us.

Cool.

So before we jump into it, let's talk a little bit about your backgrounds.

So what is kind of your journey that led you to either found or come to swim?

And what's that story like?

Maybe Omer, you could go first and then Tim, I'd love to hear your story as well.

Yeah, sure. So my name is Omer. I could go first and then Tim, I'd love to hear your story as well. Yeah, sure.
