Not what the code does. That was fast. But the reasoning behind decisions:

- Why Redis over in-memory cache?\n- Why GraphQL for this one service but REST everywhere else?\n- Why that strange exception in the auth flow for enterprise users?

Answers were buried in closed PRs with no descriptions, 18-month-old \nSlack threads, and the heads of two engineers who left last year.

We tried ADRs. Lasted 6 weeks. Nobody maintained them.\nWe tried PR description templates. Ignored within a month.\nWe have a Notion architecture doc. Last updated 14 months ago.

Every solution requires someone to manually write something. Nobody does.

Curious how teams at HN actually handle this:

1. Do you have a system that actually works long-term?\n2. Has anyone automated any part of this?\n3.
