What do you expect them to understand?

It amazes me how little people IN software engineering understand what's happening. Go ahead, listen to your bosses and write all your knowledge in AGENTS.md files, you're definitely special and won't be laid off.

Ask anyone in manufacturing how writing things down for your cheaper replacements works out for you.
