On October 30, 2026, Dex Horthy (dex) offered his judgment on the discussion around "deleting the wiki": documentation, or summaries compressed according to directory hierarchy, is only necessary when it speeds things up without reducing quality; otherwise, the simpler approach is to accept a small loss of speed and read from the source every time. He also stated that he cannot vouch for the "$32 million paper," but agrees with the distinction between "codebases for humans" and "codebases for agents," and noted that if a codebase is closed-source, documentation such as mintlify can serve as a primary source for user agents during integration. At present, this claim has only this one source, and there have been no subsequent developments.

dex responds to the delete-the-wiki argument: documentation summaries are only necessary when they speed things up without reducing quality
dex said he cannot endorse the "$32 million paper," but agrees with the distinction between "codebases for humans" and "codebases for agents." He believes that documentation or summaries compressed by directory hierarchy are only necessary when they speed things up without reducing quality; otherwise, the simpler approach is to accept a slight loss of speed and read from the source every time. He also pointed out that if the codebase is closed-source, documentation such as mintlify can serve as a "primary source" for users' agent integrations.
