Yeah the documentation (if it even exists) of most projects is usually clearly written by people intimately familiar with the project and then never reviewed to make sure it makes sense for people unfamiliar with it. But writing good detailed documentation is also really hard, especially for a specialist because many nontrivial things are trivial to them and they believe what they’re writing is thorough and well explained even though it actually isn’t.

More recently its go to discord for the env…no joke.
My face actually dropped when I read this. I will be so mad if I ever encounter this live.
It sucks…and seems to be catching on. Ive seen a quite a few on GitHub that are now referencing using it instead of the issue tracker.
That is so depressing. Literally a markdown file in the repo would be a better issue tracker.
Don’t forget to run your shell over Discord!
This is cursed, but also cool. Hijack another platform for your authentication
