Alice Ryhl Korrent 20 May Examples in documentation should be compiled and run as tests, so that changing the code breaks the docs instead of quietly outdating them. Now the thing is you can of course write examples in your documentation and Rust makes all examples into tests. This means that if you change the underlying code now your test fails. And so this means that you can't…

Kelsey Hightower Korrent 3 Jun If you will write a huge markdown file so an agent has context, you should have written the documentation that gives a human the same context. I'm watching people write these huge markdown files to give the agent context. How about you write documentation to give me context so I can have fully working examples.

Daniel Stenberg GitHub 4 Jan docs — Internet protocols and tools related documentation
Andrej Karpathy Korrent 20 Mar Stop writing documentation for people: a library should ship markdown for agents, which then explain it to whoever asks. It used to be that you have documentation for other people who are going to use your library, but like you shouldn't do that anymore. Like you should have instead of HTML documents for humans, you have markdown…

Alice Ryhl Blog 27 Jun 2017 Backblaze B2 Rust library
Julia Evans Korrent 8 Jan When two expert users argue over whether documentation is clear, that debate is unproductive — the way to actually find unclear documentation is to test it on real readers, not to have experts argue about wording. I don’t think this is very productive (expert users of a piece of software are notoriously bad at being able to tell if an explanation will be clear to non-experts), so I needed to find a way to identify problems with…
Junio C Hamano Uses 12 Mar 2015 AsciiDoc Since the project I work on is a command-line tool that is primarily implemented in C, I use the usual CLI development tools, e.g. make, gcc, gdb, etc. The documentation is in AsciiDoc.
Alice Ryhl Korrent 20 May A design proposal should describe the feature as though it already existed — once as a tutorial and once as reference documentation. And what this is is that in the guide level explanation, you explain your feature as if you were writing a guide as if the feature already existed. And in the reference level explanation, you explain your feature again…
Derek Lowe Korrent 1 May 2020 Standardised manufacturing and documentation cannot be skipped when a drug is given to human beings, because the noise they remove is the noise that would otherwise swallow the answer. You cannot wing it when you're giving a drug to human beings.

Peter Steinberger Korrent 12 Feb Do not run a personal agent on a cheap or local model: weak models are gullible and easy to prompt-inject. That's why I warn in my security documentation, don't use cheap models. Don't use Haiku or a local model. Even though I, I very much love the idea that this thing could completely run local. If you use a, a very weak…
