What a moron.

My company hired me specifically to help get everything from the only guy who knows the system documented.

Well, that's how it started, at least.

I've tried to make documentation, it got nuked while I was away, now I hide it all in the source code as doxygen mark-up.

I'm now the "expert" on doxygen.

I need a documenter!

I have a head full of stuff that hasn't had time to be documented, and being a single point of knowledge isn't job security, it's a major risk.

My code gets documented. But so much infrastructure is just held in my head as senior SysAdmin. Wherever possible I just have a ride-along "up-skilling" (works like a RAID mirror for my brain).
