I feel sorry for you if you really have not yet understood that proper, early and complete documentation and comments ARE ONLY an investment in the code, because they save time and efforts later on, which always pay back - mostly multiple times.
Perhaps you might want to explain to me the return on investment of the Orca documentation then? Zero users, zero return on investment. I feel annoyed if you talk in absolutes like that, because I know that there are lots of situations where creating documentation is a waste of effort. And I have also been bitten by lack of documentation. And I have even been in a situation where both happened at the same time, where a lot of effort was put in creating the wrong kind of documentation. Oh, and I even wrote a bit of documentation myself. I have been thought many things at university, and there were many more things I had to learn in industry. And from open source projects, which have other things to teach. Investing means making decisions. Fully documented non-working code has no value. Working code that no-one can use neither. Your current communication is manipulative: you try to put yourself in a dominant position by using absolutes, saying you feel sorry for me, and bragging about your experience. That annoys me. If you want to convince me, use arguments. Stephan https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonviolent_Communication
