📜 Console‑First Documentation: A Developer’s Guideline

1. Documentation Creates Practice

• The way official docs present solutions shapes how developers work.
• If the only path shown is “navigate and click,” that becomes the default practice — even when a simpler, scriptable path exists.
• Developers deserve to see both: GUI for casual users, console for automation.

2. Console Is a Developer’s Friend

Practical Developer Filter

1. Clarity of Purpose

• Does the tool clearly state what it does, without marketing fluff?
• Can you explain its purpose in one sentence without jargon?
  👉 If not, it’s likely overpromised or misaligned.

2. Setup Friction

• How many steps are required to get from install → “Hello World”?
• Are those steps necessary, or are they artifacts of bloat (extra dependencies, forced installs)?
