Every time I face a rant like this at work, I need only fire up an editor and pull up the source code to git. For loads of fun, load up date.c. There is no disputing that git is high quality code that we rely on. My dispute is that odd insistence on rigid documentation standards is silly in this context.

Note, this is not to say that documentation doesn't matter. It definitely has a prominent role. So does "does the job." Preferably well. The blogger mentions a prime lens works because it doesn't allow zoom. Sure it does, you just have to move your feet. This can actually be rather annoying when you are trying to get a candid shot in the house. Framing doesn't automatically happen with a prime lens, that is. However, the quality of image from a prime is huge. More than makes up for the short comings for many of us.
