Why CI/CD Still Doesn't Include Continuous Documentation?

In my 15+ years as a developer, one of the most persistent headaches I’ve seen across teams is outdated documentation. I’ll admit it, I’ve shipped features and moved on without updating the docs. A month later, a new teammate is onboarding or someone is debugging an issue, and they run into a README or guide that no longer reflects reality. It’s frustrating for them and embarrassing for us. I’m certainly not alone in this habit. Maintaining documentation is often the last thing on a developer’

Free Autoswagger Tool Finds the API Flaws Attackers Hope You Miss

APIs: Still Easy Targets in 2025 APIs are the backbone of modern applications - and one of the most exposed parts of an organization’s infrastructure. This makes them a prime target for attackers. One of the highest-profile examples was the Optus breach in 2022, where attackers stole millions of customer records through an unauthenticated API endpoint - costing the telecom company $140 million AUD in fallout. Worryingly, vulnerabilities like this are so easy to exploit you could teach someone

My favourite German word

My favourite German word¶ 30th June 2025 A documentation colleague recently challenged me with a question: Nowadays, more and more people reach for an LLM tool to provide the information they want. If human beings don’t actually read it, what is the point of writing and structuring documentation for humans? Newer generations (she said) are becoming unskilled at finding information for themselves. They seem less able to digest what they find, to apply it to their problems. But it’s not just t

Local Chatbot RAG with FreeBSD Knowledge

Out of multiple conversations with people at BSD conferences, I noticed that many would love to see a chatbot that provides precise information on FreeBSD—for users, admins, and developers. I strongly believe that there should not be an official chat.freebsd.org . Local chatbots work well and can be tweaked to fit personal needs. This documentation is written for macOS with Apple Silicon (because of the GPU support), but should work on other OSes as well. Step 1: Install Ollama (API for Multi

Writing documentation for AI: best practices

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems like Kapa rely on your documentation to provide accurate, helpful information. When documentation serves both humans and machines well, it creates a self-reinforcing loop of content quality: clear documentation improves AI answers, and those answers help surface gaps that further improve the docs. This guide provides best practices for creating documentation that works effectively for both human readers and AI/LLM consumption in RAG systems. Many bes

Is documentation like pineapple on pizza?

Internal software documentation is often a controversial topic. Many developers avoid writing it and aim to produce just enough to get the project running. If you browse discussions on platforms like Reddit or Quora, most questions about documentation focus on why it's so poorly done or disliked by developers. On the other hand, avoiding documentation slows down the team. It creates friction, forcing knowledge transfers to happen in person or requiring developers to reverse-engineer the code ju
