How would you know you even want to look at the code at all if you haven't read the description of the code which is currently below all the code at the bottom

How would you know you even want to look at the code at all if you haven't read the description of the code which is currently below all the code at the bottom of the page? I need to know what the project is and what it's trying to do before I have any interest in looking at the code.
