Didn't you know? All the cool kids these days skip documentation and just hang out on discord, where you can get a laggy response to your query about build dependencies in 2-3 business days.
Reminds me how many years ago I was complaining that people would go ask questions on irc instead of reading docs or posting on a forum so it could be indexed. Looks like nothing changed
I try to write documentation/instructions for dummies, because often, I'm the dummy when I have to dig back into the code again after not touching or thinking about it in months or years.
