recently I gave AI a task to configure a software and the software didn’t have any docs of how it works only the source code. the agent went through all the files and generated a summary of how it works and why it’s not working for my particular scenario and suggested edits to my docker-compose.yml file. I couldn’t believe it since the bug was very hard to find and it used headless firefox to find why it wasn’t working.
made me realize do we still need documentation of how a software work when a AI can easily explain it?


That makes sense! Different people learn in different way so we need different people’s words on the same topic to have diverse view on subject.
Good point
