YOUR DOCS DIRECTORY IS DOOMED

Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

The common practice of managing context for LLMs through simple Markdown `/docs` directories is a failing, temporary solution. This approach leads to problems like discoverability issues, ownership ambiguity, "doc rot," and a lack of hierarchy. A “Context-Driven Development" (CDD) approach might be better, where context is strategically owned by the organization, and is made navigable, composable, and tightly linked to the codebase.
