Wasn't there a time, long ago, when programers documented their work?

It seems this game, like so many others these days, is painfully lacking in that area.

I'm not asking for a link to a user maintained wiki, as those are mostly full of user opinions.
Nice to have, but not quite what I would call documentation.

It's sad to know that the technical minds of today have lost the discipline needed to develop whole and finished products. Setting their creations loose on consumers and users without any interest in whether they even know HOW to use this wonderful thing they have made.

Guess ppl have moved beyond tedious things like reading and writing, and are relying only on guts and instinct.

explains a lot.
