Fair feedback. My team is working hard to up level the documentation. But sometimes complex problems require complex solutions and it is quite the art to capture the 80% use case while leaving room for the rest.

But honestly, I would LOVE if my customers trust amongst each other would mitigate the need to ask us for all up best practices on how to build and ship software.
