Good code isn't enough - you need good docs too! 📝

Hey Developers,

It is said that we can build a great tool, but if its use is not properly documented for readers or users, then we won't be able to engage them effectively. Therefore, I always emphasize the importance of developers writing clear and concise documentation for their code.

There are several reasons why well-documented code is crucial:

  • It makes it easier to maintain the code in the future.
  • It helps new team members to onboard quickly and smoothly.
  • It engages readers and users of the code.
