    I urge people to not read this. Once you do, you will see all documentation will as the flawed and confusing mess it is. Ignorance is bliss!

      truly. its the kind of thing that makes docs people justify their jobs rather than coming from a founder or user centric pov

    I never saw the point in Diataxis, but honestly while vibe coding it's pretty convenient to tell an LLM "do diataxis" and get decent first pass documentation out of it.

      Agreed, a couple months back, I got cf to crawl the site and created a block of skills around it for personal use.

    Perhaps add "A systematic approach to technical documentation authoring" to the title?
