@Phobos@eientei.org @lain@lain.com @sun@shitposter.world Whenever I'm working on a project for a really long time I really look forward to writing the README because writing a README is like finally being able to tell the rest of your world about the thing you made.

@SuperDicq @lain @sun And I really, really appreciate people like you who bother writing good documentation for projects. Yet I would probably need someone to physically hold a literal gun against my head before I sat down and spent more than like two minutes on doing it.

@Phobos@eientei.org @lain@lain.com @sun@shitposter.world I do want to say I am also the particular kind of autist who enjoys editing wikipedia as well.

I like to argue that documentation is more important than the actual code often, because without proper documentation nobody knows how to use it. There's probably many software projects out there being really underappreciated simply because they lack proper documentation.
