Poor documentation deterred developers

Agree. @werkof should take this more seriously. Get it up the list of priorities.

Cardano now has everything except a healthy dose of developers. They are the last missing pieces of the puzzle before Cardano can become truly amazing. The fact that I am still here after months of horrible developer experience can attest to that.

Documentation and education should be from IOG or emurgo. After all, they are the ones who create the libraries. Without proper doc, developing is like a game of trial and error. Especially when you’re doing something no one has done before - no example.

As an aside, Plutus Playground is a dead-end. I wished somebody had told me before I wasted countless hours trying to make it work. It is buggy and now acting like a discontinued/unmaintained product. The fact that Plutus Pioneer Program uses this thing is a huge misdirection to new comers.

This link is my take posted weeks ago. With hindsight, it was not accurate/relevent on certain points but share the sentiment.

You are not alone
