Re:Ask HN: Why can't we have LLMs writing documentation? by austin-cheney on Sunday March 02, 2025 @04:03AM (#43228674)
Good documentation is no different than good software architecture. Neither are challenging yet most people in the work force cannot do either effectively, because these things require extensive practice making original organizational decisions. Practice isn’t something that can be wished away by some ineffective hallucination tool.

If you think that lack of experience can be replaced by AI then good luck. Microsoft has very recently lost all faith in AI to do any of this for reason.

What do you mean by Microsoft has lost all faith in AI to do any of this?

Microsoft has been investing billions into OpenAI and new data centers specifically for AI. Recently that ended. Microsoft has seen no return from the investment and simply concluded AI isn’t worth it and is not the future of software.
