@Lacey Thank you for the compassion!
I am with you on the “why”. Code should be self-describing, so the docstrings are there to:
1. Summarize the contents (reduces cognitive load).
2. Explains intentions, caveats, and philosophy, if needed.
3. Optionally shows implementation examples (although I’m personally not a fan).
Clean code is such a weird concept. Code can be too clean, which means it’s without context.
It’s like a house that is staged for sale, or a hotel room: it has the necessities to survive, but you wouldn’t live there.
