I have been seeing a real issue with tech people, code comments, datasheets, SDKs, git readme, framework descriptions, stackexchange posts, and generally all spoken words around computer science that people seem to forget or just for some reason aren’t mentioning intent.
Tell me how you INTENDED this code to run (‘why’ comments, not ‘what’), tell me how you INTENDED this micro’s peripheral buffer and registers to work, tell me how you INTENDED this framework to solve this problem - and I’ll see if what you intended works for me or not.
The drastic alternative is not seeing a better solution because you only ever implement something the way someone else told you to - but specifically for this discussion, that’s what a framework is anyhow.
