Depends where you work. Judging from reading HN, 95% of all devs here are writing webshitapps for companies that don't give a flying eff about development, just profits. I develop embedded hardware for tier 1 automotive manufacturers, and we have to adhere to several ISO standards, and a number of tools for managing documentation and code hygiene. Traceability of requirements, security, functional safety, and risk assessments are associated with every single decision and every single code commit. It is a lot of documentation, but I'm a pedant and I love it. It is a design process for adults, by adults.

Yeah, this kind of memo and process probably still exists at places like NASA as well
