I will bring up a point that has become clear to me.

Good documentation in general and especially for software is
incredibly hard to write and get right!

I very much agree: it is incredibly hard.

Sorry, Jim. But I have to disagree. It's "incredibly hard" for coders. It's not incredibly hard for technical writers. That's why coders shouldn't write documentation.

Coders should comment their code. Usually that will be a description of what they plan to do and why, written before they start writing lines of code. But from what I've seen, ffmpeg developers don't even put comments in their code. That's not only lazy, it's stupid.
