This would work if programmers actually documented their code.

I remember posting similar sentiments on Reddit about 3 years ago and getting downmodded to oblivion. In hindsight, I think I was wrong and the herd was right. If you restrict yourself to what's documented, you'll miss out on most of the interesting and cutting-edge stuff. And that's what lets you build a cool, differentiated, useful project.

Instead, I think you should budget time and money for crying later. ;-)
