A BETTER WAY TO CODE: DOCUMENTATION DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Documentation-driven development (DDD) involves writing documentation before coding, which can help clarify project scope and API design. DDD can take many forms, such as design mockups, API reference docs, tickets, or even tests. It is not a "write once and done" process but rather an iterative cycle of refining both code and documentation. DDD can help identify potential issues in the design phase, saving time and resources in the long run.
