“Hello! I am a developer. Here is my relevant experience: I code in Hoobijag and sometimes jabbernocks and of course ABCDE++++ (but never ABCDE+/^+ are you kidding? ha!) and I like working with Shoobababoo and occasionally kleptomitrons. I’ve gotten to work for Company1 doing Shoobaboo-ing code things and that’s what led me to the Snarfus. So, let’s dive in!
On the flipside I’ve encountered docs that expect the reader to already understand the functionality in order to be able to use the docs. They seem to exist solely as a reminder to those who already know.
There’s a reason I don’t bother running my own mailservers anymore!
Perfect description of the entire Microsoft .NET documentation, signed, .NET beginner who not only didn’t have a .NET background, but not even a Microsoft programming background (which is also heavily assumed throughout - way to make newbies feel completely unwelcome in your ecosystem!).
Yeah, I use a software that had amazing documentation when they had a publishing company division. When the publisher was gone the documentation is at most a glorified of glossary.
Oh man, this I do hate. If you have terminology in your app, that is not a standard, please, please define it.
