Just Read the Documentation

talk 4 connections

Opening wroclove.rb 2026 lightning talk. Title comes from early career advice the speaker got as a 'green small developer'. Core message: developers underestimate and underread documentation; Stack Overflow is 'almost dead' and LLMs have knowledge cut-offs, so they either guess (to minimize tokens) or scrape the web (slow and costly). GUI documentation apps like Dash are acknowledged ('amazing') but too 'yucky' for a terminal-first workflow. The speaker has spent years looking to fill this gap and is now ramping up push toi — a two-way TUI that runs on Linux and macOS, is project-aware (shows docs only for dependencies/versions actually in use), and is growing an LLM interface with promising local test results. Closing: please try it, send feedback, author is actively subsidized to work on it.
