So they don’t owe you anything, but they owe you a documentation if they code and publish.
Does that make sense ? I don’t think anybody doing any form of benevolent work should ever be called lazy while doing it. Just basic respect for the free work they already accomplished.
Anyone who builds anything and doesn’t document their work is being lazy. Paid or not, a good project has documentation, and not just for the end user, but the OG creator and anyone else who works on it in the future. Very few people in the world have a memory good enough to recall every detail of something they build a long time ago.
It’s not about benevolence, free vs paid, or scope of audience (personal projects), humans have maliable memory and writing down documentation is nessecary component to making anything last.
While that may be true, I will still shit on any dev who can’t write proper documentation. Free isn’t an excuse for lazy.
