There’s an irresistible, almost demoralizing irony in the fact that developers are discovering docs and accessibility only now due to AI. They needed docs and didn’t know it until they had at their disposal an ersatz user in the form of an LLM that asked for context.

Now I only need to find out how to use the 387 gut coprocessor in my belly to crunch those floats.

We might need a new benchmark, the old pelican riding a bike doesn't cut it anymore. Something like a mailman ringing the doorbell would be more fitting. Or a squirrel riding a trike.

The writing was always the cheap part
