Oh, I remember. I'm an OpenAPI fan, for example. This time it feels a bit different, though. It won't erase the requirement of having high skill engineers, nor the need to have tech writers create docs, but it might indeed help focus on docs under a different light: not as a post-factum, often neglected artifact, but as a design document. I'm talking of actual user docs here, not PRFAQs or specs.
It always feels a bit different doesn't it. This time it's though. Maybe. No definitely. Will see. We're waiting for AGI anyway, right?
One can only hope. :)
The difference is that LLMs are more capable than the average coder, and rapidly improving. If you give a seasoned developer a loose spec, (s)he'll deal with the ambiguity.
