Documentation That Writes Itself From Source Code
from How We’re Building Flamingo · host Flamingo
Generating documentation. We don't have a product manager. Instead, our system watches what the engineering team ships and automatically generates reference docs, tutorials, and feature specs from the source code. We talk about the time it hallucinated setup instructions that didn't exist, how we fixed the trust hierarchy between generated docs and manual notes, and why auto-documentation is the single biggest force multiplier for a small team.
