Worth mentioning this is a Cognition / Devin on-ramp and has been posted on HN a few times in just a couple months, feels a little sales-y to me.
And WTF with these floating boxes popping up everywhere?!? They are tailor-made to trigger anxiety in people with OCD. They look like a notification that keep grabbing your attention as you scroll the text. Example: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/secure-eks-clusters-with-th...
Will need boxblock.

I hope actual users never see this. I dread thinking about having to go around to various LLM generated sites to correct documentation I never approved of to stop confusing users that are tricked into reading it.
Yeah this seems to be a recurring issue on each of the repos I've tried. Some occasionally useful tables or diagrams buried in pages of distracting irrelevant slop.
- Users are confused by autogenerated docs and don’t even want to try using a project because of it
- Real curated project documentation is no longer corrected by users feedback (because they never reach it)
- LLMs are trained on wrong autogenerated documentation: a downward spiral for hallucinations! (Maybe this one could then force users go look for the official docs? But not sure at this point…)
The point of the wiki is to help people learn the codebase so they can possibly contribute to the project, not for end users. It absolutely should explain implementation details. I do agree that it goes overboard with the diagrams. I’m curious, I’ve seen other moderately sized repo owners rave about how DeepWiki did very well in explaining implementation details. What specifically was it getting wrong about your code in your case? Is it just that it’s outdated?
