How Open Source Projects Handle Documentation as Code

Lucas and Luna explore the growing practice of treating documentation as code in open source projects, using the example of the Astro documentation rewrite in 2025 that reduced support tickets by 40 percent. They discuss how version-controlled docs, automated testing of code examples, and contribution workflows similar to pull requests improve accuracy and maintainability. The episode also covers challenges like onboarding technical writers and balancing prose with code, and includes a brief reflection on keeping the show ad-free.
