Every de team knows the feeling. You ship a release. Your PM asks "can you update the changelog?" You open CHANGELOG.md, stare at it for ten minutes, write something vague like "bug fixes and improvements," and close it. Then nobody reads it anyway. But changelogs actually matter. Your users, your team, your future self - they all benefit from knowing what changed and why. The problem isn't motivation. It's friction.
