You're a "dev," but don't seek out test folders/files for use case examples?

Don't let your employer know...

It's up to you (developer of repo in question) to make it low friction if you care about mass adoption, that's why Adafruit/Arduino libraries are used for random hardware ease of use/good documentation

They can be a dev and not want to have to clone and explore the code. There's tons of little bits of friction that're not addressed by the "face" of the repo. E.g. The readme doesn't seem to imply how to connect to this database (the answer is you write to its stdin, it's not socket based).

We're not at work here. Low effort posts are allowed though not encouraged. Implying that making a low effort post somehow makes you not a developer ("you're a 'dev' but don't seem out tests?") is it's own low effort post, while also being hurtful.

Please, let's keep things kind, focused, and clear.
