Docs-as-Code Is Methodology, Not Toolchain
MOMENTUM · SHARE OF VOICE
The true value of Docs-as-Code lies in its principles of rigor and collaboration, not in the rigid imposition of a specific developer toolchain like Git, which is often a misapplication of the methodology. This narrow focus creates unnecessary complexity and can be a "broken promise" for writing teams.
