05/07/2021, 9:21 PMOne thing to keep in mind: if the docs get too good, then what would people talk about on the slack? Might loose community cohesion! I guess that falls under Zeroth World Problems™.

Big thing we've realized especially recently tho is that good docs at pantsbuild.org aren't enough - we need excellent error messages. We can't assume everyone has read the docs nor remembers it all. (h/t to Rust community for speaking to that)
