    Yeah, documentation isn’t as good as it could be, and it would increase the accessibility of software if it was better.

      The amount of time and skill it takes to write excellent and accessible documentation is just not reasonable for most developers, unless you have dedicated technical writers or it’s a personal project without true deadlines.

        So what? It may arguably be not a developer’s fault, but it is everyone’s problem, given the growing dystopian alternatives to an accessible distributed software ecosystem. A problem can be acknowledged without admitting blame. Happy cake day btw.
