My Teacher Always Says: Do Your Project With Knowledge That Your User Is Stupid

Developer: "Tea bags are so intuitive they don't need instructions."

End user: *dunks entire tea bag, wrapper and all, into hot water*

And that's why we write documentation for even the most "obvious" features. Users will find ways to break your software that you couldn't imagine in your worst fever dreams. The line between intuitive and incomprehensible is thinner than your project deadline.

Why Is This So Common

The eternal developer tragedy: spending hours hunting for the perfect library with that one specific feature you need, only to discover it's the only feature missing. It's like ordering a pizza specifically for the pineapple and getting everything BUT the pineapple. The universe has a special way of ensuring your dependency choices are maximally frustrating. Next time just write those 300 lines of code yourself and save the emotional damage!
