Pinterest faced ongoing challenges with technical documentation quality and discoverability, prompting the adoption of a docs-as-code strategy. This led to the creation of PDocs, an internal documentation system that integrates documentation alongside code, enhances collaboration, and improves discoverability through a centralized platform. Key features include a streamlined UI, version control, and real-time updates to ensure documentation remains relevant and accessible.

The article discusses the integration of AI, specifically Claude, into software development practices at Julep, emphasizing the importance of structured coding methodologies to enhance productivity while maintaining code quality. It outlines various modes of "vibe-coding"—using AI as a first-drafter, pair-programmer, and validator—along with practical frameworks and documentation strategies to effectively leverage AI in different development scenarios.
