    I don’t understand how devs can be too lazy to write documentation but somehow they’d rather explain the same shit in discord over and over and over and over and over and over

      The help command is one of the first things I work on in any project. Even if I’m never gonna share it, my future self will appreciate it.

        Even on simple scripts, it’s so help to remind yourself however the hell you made it work.

      I think it’s loneliness, honestly.

      That and corporate work environment tends to rewards those that can explain stuff vocally ad nauseum.

      At work, I am one of the few who actually documents. Not only with Doxygen, but I also write real documents regarding all kinds of topics.

      Guess what? “I know you have this documented somewhere, but could you just quickly explain again how this common task works?”

      Why is discord so popular in non-gaming circles? People use it as a shitty, bloated and centralized IRC clone, with the voice fuction being completely ignored.
