A designer-developer reports accumulating 14 repos in a few months without a coherent management system. The problem is structural: AI lowers the barrier to starting projects but creates repo sprawl.
Internal Company Wikis Go Stale Because Updating Them Is Manual
Teams maintaining internal documentation or wikis struggle to keep them current, often relying on hacky manual processes to reflect changes in underlying files and systems.
