If you browse the source code of software projects, you’ll notice that projects built for the same platform share a common structure. This practice makes projects immediately recognizable. It also matches the assumptions of tools that build them. No such structure exists for documentation.

Content is king. That we know. But we forget that content is also sovereign. Too often, that independence gets trampled when producing a documentation site, giving rise to a content monolith.
