This is a good point, but one could make a point for the usefulness of documentation in “thinking like a user” which is a valuable exercise.
I do very much prefer moving fast though, so I get it, docs-later is obviously a very valid way of doing things.
If someone is excited about Zig and wanted to make a difference I guess it’s now obvious where they could have outsized impact!
Docs later is an okay approach, when you build something in a closed environment, where the only users know the code inside out.
But when working in open-source and your goal is to have people adopt your software, then it's a bad point and a lazy excuse.
