I guess I can understand that, but please at least put a warning on it that says "if you actually take the time to read this you'll have spent more effort on it than its author did" so I know not to waste my time.

This is odd to hear. All the best programmers I know are actually adamant readers of documentation, how else could you be a good programmer without reading the docs? I will say devs admitting to not reading docs does definitely explain how shit current software is from big tech.
