Decision records
View SourceWhy the code is the way it is, one decision per file, in the order they were taken. Read the record before changing what it decided; if the reasons no longer hold, write a new record that supersedes it rather than editing the old one. Each record has the same four parts: the situation, what was decided, what it costs, and where the code is.
