I used Trelent, an extension for VS code that didn’t require any registration, but their server has been unresponsive for a while. Any alternative you would recommend?
My code is in Python, mostly.

Edit: I wasn’t clear on my intention. I was looking for a tool that would lay out a generic description so I would start from something and fine tune the explanation.
I am incredibly bad at documenting, the process is tedious and frustrating. At the end of the day, my explanations are mostly gibberish anyway.
From your general consensus, I should bite the bullet and do it by myself.
I really appreciate your feedback, point taken. Time to psych myself up with some death metal and get it over with.

    yeah, any comment that can be auto-generated doesn’t need to be there in the first place. The real issue might be overly-dogmatic comment/docstring requirements

      Even worse. Auto generated comments just copy the how and not the why. If the code has a bug so does the comment… and if you fix the bug but not the comment somebody else might change the code back to match the comment.
