Ask HN: How do people keep track of organizational knowledge?

kkadhirvelm about 2 hours ago 5 comments

DE version is available. Content is displayed in original English for accuracy.

With code coming in faster and faster, we've been losing track of context, what's out of date, the source of truth, etc. Also with individuals spending less and less time on any one problem, finding an expert to answer questions has become challenging. People don't have that single domain of expertise like we used to. There's too much surface area to cover.

Are we the only ones dealing with this? How's everyone else handling it?

Just do what AI does to manage context: write docs, regression tests, content index, tools/skills, and CLAUDE.md

Do you all rely on people writing things down as they go? or do you have some automated system?

People. Time is carved out for both documentation and its review, like a PR review. Otherwise, how would you trust what is being documented? A human must remain in the loop if accuracy is a component of success criteria for organization documentation. I say this familiar with Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern.
