Who is reading docs these days? It there is one thing a LLM is good at is reading docs. I never read docs anymore and I am so happy about it.

I love reading docs. It's the best way to get as close as I can to understanding the intent and context of a piece of software. I feel like adding an LLM between myself and the original text for anything else than search is just adding risk and noise.
Am I the only one feeling this way?

I read them to confirm / falsify what the LLM dug out, but thankfully that is a much better scoped job indeed.
The other case is when I - gasp - do something myself, and the docs are actually reasonable / easy to reference. There are workflows where me doing the thing is just plain faster still, even when including hitting up the docs real quick.
