Structure Was the Real Bug — How I Ended Up Building dir2md

A firsthand account of how debugging chaos, failed AI assistance, and the absence of structure led to the creation of dir2md — an open-source CLI that filters, secures, and restructures codebases into token-efficient Markdown maps for developers and AI workflows.
