Cited by¶
1 citation across 1 artifact.
Each citation links to the sentence it supports in the citing article.
Primes¶
- Coordination-Overhead Inversion
- Software documentation: doc-of-doc patterns — style guides, doc-review processes, doc-platform maintenance, doc-strategy committees — can consume more engineering time than the documented engineering.
This sourceDocuments that documentation creation and maintenance is itself a substantial, often-burdensome engineering cost, with multi-level documentation upkeep viewed as overly burdensome by developers. (Resolves needs-source-804 for documentation overhead consuming engineering time; the explicit recursive 'doc-of-doc' apparatus — doc-strategy committees, doc-review processes governing the docs — is weakly supported, see flag. Trade-publication source, not peer-reviewed.)

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
