The podcast discusses various types of documentation for software projects, including documenting code and external documentation. It explores what should be documented within code comments versus other approaches like TypeScript. Maintaining outdated documentation is an issue, so validation through tests or expected errors is preferable. External documentation like readmes should link to other sources rather than include details likely to become outdated. Architectural decision records are recommended to explain important design choices. The discussion also covers establishing a domain language to reduce ambiguity and standardizing terminology between teams. Overall, the podcast emphasizes writing documentation that remains useful over time rather than just explaining code.

The podcast discusses the responsibilities of a mobile development team and how they differ from teams that only focus on writing code. Mobile developers can play an important role by providing expertise on mobile design patterns, technologies, and best practices to help other teams. They also need to work closely with backend developers to ensure APIs are optimized for mobile and address issues like battery life. In addition, mobile teams can help with testing, deployment automation, and even building internal tools to speed up their work. The podcast emphasizes that mobile developers should act as advisors and not just code contributors if they want to fully utilize their skills and provide the most value to their organizations. It highlights how mobile expertise can influence product design and strategy in ways that benefit both business and users.
