You spend weeks writing documentation. Beautiful, comprehensive docs with examples, edge cases, troubleshooting sections—the whole nine yards. You even add diagrams because you're fancy like that. Then someone opens a ticket asking the exact question answered in the first paragraph of the README.

The sad truth? Documentation is like that gym membership everyone has but nobody uses. Developers would rather spend 3 hours debugging, ask on Slack 47 times, and sacrifice a rubber duck to the coding gods than spend 5 minutes reading the docs. It's not that the bridge isn't there—it's that everyone's too busy trying to swim across the river.

Pro tip: If you want people to read your docs, hide the solution in a Stack Overflow answer. That they'll find in 0.3 seconds.
