Yeah, that's a problem with a lot of FOSS passion projects. We devs kinda like writting code, but not really documenting it. Hopefully with the influx of devs helping that will improve

I don’t really like all the LLM hype, but I’m hoping that documentation will eventually be generated by some open source model, with human verification

It's a pretty major pain point for a lot of local libraries, too. I'm so glad I have the option to dig through the source code of functions if I can't figure them out.

Maybe we'll eventually get the corresponding influx of tech writers.

I think that this line of reasoning becomes less and less tenable when things like Swagger exist.

It's like almost every piece of software, period.
