Comment on Facebook Pushes Its Llama 4 AI Model to the Right, Wants to Present “Both Sides”
cmhe@lemmy.world 6 days agoGood code documentation describes why something is done, and no just **what ** or how.
To answer why you have to understand the context, and often, you have to be there when the code was written and went through the various iterations.
LLMs might be able to explain what is done, with some margin of error, but why something is done, I would be very surprised.

Well, we don’t have that. We’re mostly dealing with other people’s mistakes and tech debt. We have messy things like nested stored procedures.
If all we get is some high level documentation of how components interact I’m happy. From there we can start splitting off the useful chunks for human review.
