One small AI workflow that solved our stale API documentation problem

One of the most annoying parts of backend development isn't building APIs.

It's keeping the documentation up to date.

Everyone knows it should happen. Everyone plans to do it. But when you're trying to ship a feature or fix a production issue, documentation is usually the thing that gets pushed to "later."

We had the same problem.

Our backend team keeps all of our API documentation in a Voiden repository. The interesting part isn't just where the documentation lives—it's how it's maintained.
