Continuous Documentation Manifesto
summary
Argues for treating documentation like code and tests with three concrete rules: code-coupled docs embed file paths, function names and exact code snippets; docs run checks in CI so they are always up-to-date (validate referenced lines on every pull request); and docs are written immediately after features or fixes — created when best — so onboarding friction drops and live incidents resolve faster because docs match reality.
