> I'm currently working with the AWS SDK Python documentation and it's a hot pile of garbage from all points of view (UX, info architecture, technical detail, etc.).

I agree that pretty much all AWS documentation is woeful, and it's a travesty that the service is so expensive yet its documentation is so poor. I would gladly dump AWS and never use it again, as I hate paying top-dollar to decipher the AWS doc team's mistakes (not to mention that they are unresponsive to bug reports and feedback).

My point was made more in jest, and supposed to point out the irony of the communities' changing expectations of what documentation should be like. I predict that in a few years we'll be circling back to prioritizing writing software documentation well. (Kind of like how everybody was hating on XML for the past 20 years and it's now having a renaissance because it actually does what it's supposed to well very well.)
