Ask HN: Given the choice, would you write documentation if you didn't have to?
I personally find writing internal documentation very monotonous even though I know it's important.
I'm curious if you were told you could have decent internal documentation automatically generated for you that were good enough, but not competitive w/ human maintained docs.
Would you still take the effort to write your own documentation?
