The docs. It's what it does now a lot of the time I've noticed.
Auto generated docs since devs don't document?
Chatgpt, look at this repo and write docs
Somebody already did that but it wasn't with chat GPT and honestly the docs were fine.
It didn't do that thing that a lot of humans do when writing documentation which is just declare that something is true without explaining why it is true. So you end up in random PHP like land, when things just work like that okay.
Honestly it's petty good about doing that. Already had similar tooling options but it does a generally good job of making docs for non devs assuming good naming are used in the methods
Yeah the smaller the project the less effective this is.
But even learning from the source code is pretty effective.
That works when the docs are good and clear. Otherwise, we'll have to revert to communicating with each other for brief periods while the chat-bots train themselves on the new data.
