Why Docs-as-Code Peer Review Should be Part of your Dev Cycle
summary
Argues that treating docs as code replaces locked WYSIWYG files with plain text in git, enforces markdown in git, and makes review a normal pull request workflow so multiple reviewers (devs testers PMs) add context rather than fragmented exported drafts. Shows concrete automations: CI linting that rejects HTML in markdown, template validation that fails builds if prerequisites are missing, and single-sourced code samples pulling from the repo so docs and code ship together. Results: fewer manual merges, always up-to-date docs, and measurable effort.
