Coincidentally enough, I saw another user make a post about cookies. Reminded me of a Reddit post I made 4 years ago that’d be fitting to share!

    Sometimes I think a common response response is “Haha, I’m not about to let documentation tell me what to do! I’ll show them!”

    …I’m paid to write a lot of documentation. Generally, I’m the only one who uses it. So at least it saves my time, so I can focus on writing more documentation.

      I do software development myself, and I can’t express how much of a difference good documentation makes when using a new/unfamiliar library.

      So at the very least, I and many others in my line of work appreciate the effort that’s put in to write clear and readable documentation, because without it, I’d be floundering around like a fish out of water lol
