2023-05-08 The reason why manuals are so long and hard to read is to become a problem if the problem happens. [長年日記]

Today, I faced the "Dead Lock" I wrote yesterday.

Almost all of the troubles will happen just after the system modification. This is so typical.

-----

In order to avoid the deadlock, I asked workers in my company. A guy gave me a manual book with more than 100 pages. After reading it, I gave up easily.

However, the guy give a reply, "It was a piece of cake", I could complete the set in a minute

-----

The facts lead to the following.

- Manual books are apt to be written difficult, so too hard to get us what we want.

- A human being (like me) is apt to believe human words more than manuals.

I made a memorandum about what I did, and the volumes are only 10 line-document and two hardcopy sheets.

-----

The reason why manuals are so long and hard to read is to become a problem if the problem happens.

On the other hand, my memorandum is just for me, so even if someone tries some actions by reading my memorandum, it is not my business.

Even I also got in terrible trouble by reading another's memorandum. So It is "mutual"

Well, I think it is something that ordinary companies are too afraid to do.
