Writing documentation from scratch is as uncommon as writing code from scratch. More typically, you’re updating or expanding or refactoring existing docs. My expectation was that an LLM-powered tool primed with both code and documentation could provide a powerful assist, and Unblocked did.
I don’t know how to measure the boost it gave me. But I do know that I’ll never again want to undertake this kind of project without a tool that can help me assemble the necessary context.
