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
More devs that don't want to write code?
Edit: damn, meant to say write documentation. We only want to code!
Well, more devs that have to sit down and figure out how the code works and then document it for future new devs
I don't think that is contained to FOSS passion projects ;)
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
I think that this line of reasoning becomes less and less tenable when things like Swagger exist.
Maybe we'll eventually get the corresponding influx of tech writers.
It's like almost every piece of software, period.
