System Design and Documentation Questions

Addresses how system design and architecture choices affect documentation needs and how documentation architecture should mirror system architecture. Topics include deciding what to document, audience and user journey considerations, documenting key concepts and failure modes, versioning and maintenance of documentation, mapping documentation to system components and APIs, and strategies to make documentation discoverable and useful for onboarding and troubleshooting. Candidates should demonstrate systems thinking about documentation, including tooling, structure, ownership, and automated documentation generation where appropriate.
