Hello Eric,
I'm mainly referring to how many times we use an API, framework, or library without understanding it well and without having read its documentation.
I also think we have a problem in our code if it needs documentation to explain it.
For example, in an API the documentation would be useful for:
What the function's parameters or arguments are.
What is the purpose of the function.
Function return values.
...
But not to explain the internal code of it.
Sorry if I misunderstood you.
