Is this an actual problem? Takes minutes for an AI to explore and document a codebase. Sounds like a non problem.

Is that documentation useful? I haven't seen a well-documented codebase by AI so far.

To be fair - humans also fail at that. Just look at the GTK documentation as an example. When you point that out, ebassi may ignore you because criticism is unwanted; and the documentation will never improve, meaning they don't want new developers.

Yes, exactly my point as well. It cuts both ways.
