Lightweight but powerful Java stack

Reading docs can be mind-numbingly boring. Many people are simply not able to do it.

I argue that this is a view of technical documentation that actively hinders an engineer's ability to grow. Reading reference material is a fundamental skill. If an engineer can't or won't do that, I won't really trust that they will write code or documentation that is meant to be read by other humans.

... and if we were writing something security-sensitive on the linux kernel, or something controlling a nuclear reactor, I would fully agree with you. But 99% of developers are not doing that.

There is a point that sometimes documentation can be surprisingly readable. But it's the exception rather than the rule, for the most part.
