Frederick's delirious rantings

Organisational documentation systems fail not because of the tools used but because of poor structure. Drawing inspiration from Obsidian and Wikipedia, the author proposes treating documentation as a knowledge graph rather than a folder hierarchy. Key principles include Map of Content (MOC) pages as navigational landing pads, Atomic Documentation (one concept per page with links instead of repetition), metadata for context, and a hybrid folder structure (Projects, Applications, Processes, Resources, Archive) to ease onboarding. The post also warns that LLM-generated documentation undermines this system because it lacks the cross-linking that makes the network valuable.
