Primes

• Explanatory Overlay Masking Structural Debt
  • Engineering documentation: README sprawl and tribal-knowledge wikis that compensate for architectural confusion; onboarding-document size is often inverse to architectural clarity.

    This sourceArgues that documentation should track and reveal the (idealized) design structure; sprawling documentation signals architectural confusion rather than substituting for it.
