same reason why Terraform AWS Provider is better documentation than AWS documentation

https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest...

If I can't find the answer to what I need there I usually resort to LLMs, they are surprisingly good and fetching the info you need out of these massive documentations. The failure rate is quite high though so a lot of trial and error required, but the LLM at least gives you some hints to where to look for it.

My primary use case for LLMs so far has indeed been to avoid terrible technical documentation.
I'm on the lookout for an LLM that is relatively small and focused on technical documentation. I don't need it to write prose or haiku, just answer my questions based on documentation
Yep. Build it into an editor and I'd be the first customer.
