Oh god, oh no.
Do you realize what that will mean? My coworkers will have to learn how to understand documentation standards that rely on anything but "self documenting code."
I am already "an expert (lol @ my salary)" because I read shit they don't bother looking up. We're truly doomed.
That's a pipe dream thinking all the documentation is complete and well detailed
I can't count the times where I read the documentation for the tutorial to get started and the steps described in the official documentation by the official maintainer fails early.
Documentation is 99% an afterthought (slight exaggeration here)
