Documentation through automation

Automation of tasks such as building a system is more than just a time saver. The knowledge required to build a system should not reside solely in the heads of the original developers.

An automated build script contains the knowledge of how to build the system. This is very important information that needs to be shared and kept up to date to make it easy for new developers to build the system. This reduces the risk that the knowledge will be lost and decouples the original developers from the system being built, allowing them to move on and start new projects.
