This article is a bit of a non sequitur. I generally agree with the points raised but the real problem is whether documentation is given enough time within the development cycle. In my experience it isn’t.

The point of documentation is to communicate to others how to keep developing a code base - what is does, how it does it etc. What form the documentation takes can be fluid, a full fledged wiki or a single readme.md file can fulfill the same role just as well! Some documentation is better than nothing, so start small and then improve it over time.
