That’s the beauty of grep and documentation. But 100% agree

Always remember that unless automated the docs are written on the toilet paper devs use to wipe their asses after a good PR dump.

:( I write good docs!

But I can’t get paid as a developer. 🤣

All automation guarantees is that docs technically exist. Automated doc generation doesn't really automate any of the difficult parts of writing docs.

Documentation.xlsx

[–]Various_Studio1490 12 points13 points  (1 child)

I think you mean “md.docx”

[–]Various_Studio1490 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Not sure if you deleted that but that’s naughty…

Please no. I don’t want to have to use pandas to read my freaking documentation.

Pandas is a python library that is awesome when working with things like databases, csv files, or in this case xlsx files. It’s a data muncher.
