Better Tools for HDF5 - Gerd Heber on Call the Doctor 4/29/25
Better documentation, not better tools, tops the list of most wanted HDF5 support improvements. That documentation is not an end but a means to make more effective use of HDF5 and, perhaps, build better tools. If we could turn computers into better developers, what would the role of documentation be? According to “ReadMe.LLM: A Framework to Help LLMs Understand Your Library”, their needs would be very similar. What put this paper on my radar was that one of the case studies in the paper examines LLM-based code generation to convert WAV files to HDF5. But that’s a technical detail. The bigger point is that if you thought you needed an MCP server or LLM tool for your favorite data store or service, maybe you weren’t lazy enough—a good old-fashioned README(.LLM) might do the trick. Let’s talk about it!
