toxi, Some interesting stats for some of you: The ratio of git commit types[1] in #ThingUmbrella over the past 6+ years (1st colum) vs over the past year only (since 2023-01-01, 2nd column):
docs: 15.0% | 23.9%
feat: 44.2% | 47.5%
fix: 11.9% | 9.5%
perf: 1.8% | 1.6%
refactor: 27.1% | 17.5%These numbers show a drastic uptick in documentation related efforts (1.6x more commits of that type) and I sincerely hope this effort will start bearing fruits at some point and wasn't all wasted...
Underlining this increased focus on documentation & explanations is also visible in terms of effort creating/refactoring/maintaining the 155 example projects included in the repo. Here're the numbers of example related commits over the past three years:
2021: 84
2022: 80
2023: 170Personally, I don't know of any other project which supplies this amount & variety of examples (from basic to more advanced and not even counting the other hundreds of code snippets in doc strings showing basic usage & use cases) - yet documentation remains the #2 issue deemed "problematic" (after "discoverability")...
I'm not sure if my neurodivergence is at play here, but I just don't understand how to connect some of these efforts & findings (or I don't understand people's expectations, also not helped by lack of concrete feedback given, even if asked directly)...
[1] Being able to easily build additional tooling/automation is one of the many amazing side effects of using https://www.conventionalcommits.org/ — I highly recommend it for your own repos!
