Lost Context: The Hidden Cost When Senior Engineers Leave

When a senior engineer departs, they take with them the reasoning behind critical code decisions, leaving teams to guess why certain flags, jobs, or SDK choices exist. Documentation often fails because it's a deferred benefit, and now AI coding agents compound the problem by reintroducing past mistakes without institutional memory. A new tool, Decispher, aims to capture decisions at the moment they're made to preserve context for humans and AI alike.
