Right, and my point is that this stuff genuinely matters and is worth recording - but needs to be recorded with a very clear timestamp (hence my preference for comments in a GitHub issue or PR).

Otherwise you'll inevitably find yourself re-litigating old decisions because you never recorded WHY you chose one approach over another.



Why is important but that is a very different thing from the desing documents I used to have to write, those would not tell you why.
