This is a problem in some really major codebases too.

I routinely curse whoever wrote the "docs" for openCV.

Oh my gosh, yes, OpenCV is really hard to get into. Which is a shame because it seems extremely capable.

OpenCV was initially written in Intel and having been an Intel employee I found OpenCV's documentation to be totally consistent with internal documentation quality.
