>The amount of repos ( private ) I've stumble upon where only some documentation exists on how to build it but not even a word on what it is, what it does and where does it fit is quite high. When you find something consistently sucks about real world projects, it is a signal that these businesses and/or the markets they operate in value things differently to you. It is possible they were all wrong in a very consistent and obvious way. Or it's possible that you are missing something. As developers, we spend a lot of time with code and software internals. We are directly exposed to, say, the frustration of onboarding onto new projects with spotty documentation. This makes us slightly delusional about how important it is in the grand scheme of things. Ceteris paribus, I'd bet on a business with lots of code and barely any documentation over a business with lots of documentation and barely any code.
