    Good documentation makes me happy, bad documentation makes me run away. I suspect I’m not the only person who not only reads the fucking manual but thinks writing good technical documentation is an art of its own. Good luck with trying to replace proper documentation with profuse gibberish.

      I mostly agree with this, but in corporate software the stuff mostly either doesn’t exist or is outdated to the point of basic inaccuracy.

      I’m talking readmes that still have the template information in them or have stayed the same since the first commit.
