Developer deletes Confluence, argues code should be the wiki

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer deleted their team's Confluence wiki, arguing that hand-written docs inevitably rot as code changes. They built Bodhiorchard, an open-source tool that auto-generates documentation from code by scanning repos and extracting live features. The tool indexes code locations and features, claiming to eliminate the need for manual documentation.

Meridian48 take
The idea is provocative but unproven at scale; auto-generated docs can miss context and intent that human-written docs capture.
