Couple points your comment made me think of,
In some cases bad documentation can be worse then no documentation at all. If you find yourself here, improve your app and your documentation.
In some cases too much documentation can be a hindrance as it becomes hard to find specific pieces of information that cover > 90% of use cases. Consider simplifying and improving your documentation if you are here.
Finally, documentation without context is usually really bad. If your maintaining a popular web framework understand that many of your users may be beginners and write documentation accordingly. If your software caters to a super small niche of "experienced" users you should write it for them as well.
TLDR; don't stop writing documentation, write better documentation.
But honestly, as a software developer, if documentation wasn't the bane of my existence, something else would fill the void. And I'm scared of what that something else might be.
