Re:Markdown in /src on Tuesday September 22, 2026 @10:07PM (#49810799)
In many apps I've built, every decision is stored in Markdown files under docs/. But documentation can become obsolete, even comments inside source files can.

I assume src/ is treated as the source of truth. If we start placing Markdown documentation inside src/, outdated documentation can live alongside the actual source of truth, blurring the boundary between what the system actually does and what the documentation says it does.
