@typeswitch@gamedev.lgbt I find I get the most mileage out of keeping this in mind with the code I write itself (making the "what" clear to the reader, often boils down to choosing legible names and consistency) but the documentation is useful to clarify the "why" and the "how" where applicable all dogmas aside, it really does seem like understanding that programming languages are human-to-human communication is the main limiting factor. "it's for the computer" → write-only code
