Every developer hits this wall eventually. You know you should document your code. You've heard the lectures. But then you're staring at your project and wondering... do I write docstrings? A README? Both? Some massive documentation site?
It's genuinely confusing. And nobody explains it well.
Here's the thing. Docstrings and markdown documentation aren't competing approaches. They do different jobs. Docstrings live inside your code and document how your API works. Markdown files sit outside your code and explain how to actually use your project.
Different purposes. Different audiences. Both necessary for anything serious.
What Are Docstrings?
