That time was like 10 years ago. I think it’s been best practice to have docs in the repo for a long time.
GitHub Pages came out in 2008.
if you aren't using github because you're at a big company with its own git UIs, you still have to make the case that your company needs this thing.
I'm sure there's a ton of places where its been hard to do that in the past in a way where the docs are easily accessible where people are looking
but with agents, even just pulling the code package to get the docs is fine
that's true. Take care because in the YCombinator there is "Don't be snarky". Ask yourself how you could have provided the same useful insight without being snarky: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
Python Sphinx as well.
The best time to plant a tree was 30 years ago. The second best time is now.
