"No Docs, No Distill": Tencent's Viral Burn
A one-liner about "distillation" has put Tencent's documentation gap on Zhihu's trending list.
Zhihu's trending list just dropped a question that reads like a punchline dressed as a critique: "That night, Tencent couldn't distill anything — because it has no documentation culture." One sentence, three built-in hooks.
"Distillation" is a cheeky nod to AI jargon — the idea of refining messy know-how into something reusable. No documentation, no raw material. Even the slickest model can't cook from an empty pantry.
Why is it hitting so hard? Because it isn't really a Tencent-only story. Whose work laptop doesn't hide a few "legacy" files no one can trace, hand off, or even open?
