Rarely, assuming you can read the docs enough to understand what pre-built library to use.

Rarely, assuming you can read the docs enough to understand what pre-built library to use.
- douche 10y agoAnd assuming that A) the docs for the libraries do exist, and B) that, if the docs do exist, they don't look like the output of a million coked-up monkeys, that was then run through an automatic javadoc generator. It's just staggering how shitty a lot of documentation is. I can forgive a one-person github repo for skimping on it, but I get a little irate when I'm using APIs from Fortune 500s and have to resort to decompiling because their docs are missing, incomplete, incorrect, or otherwise hot garbage.
