In my last post, I accused the Hive dev community of gatekeeping.
I realise this might not be intentional behavior from all parties.
It sure pisses me off though, so here's an example:
Further up in that conversation, 
Since I mention them here it's only fair to emphazise that those 2 are actually helpful and knowledgable.
First they were unsure, if the order of the accounts should be alphabetical.
🙄
Last time I checked, JSON (or JS dictionaries for that matter) are not ordered.
I am just a hobbyist, but I know that much.
(Which btw doesn't mean that it was implemented correctly, but that would be against convention at the very least and poor code imo)
Anyways
They somehow solved the issues.
From their public conversation I can't quite figure it out...
Now that's all fine and I am happy that Sorin resolved the problems alright.
My Issue
My issue here is that this happened christmas last year.
And this has happened before. Many times.
And when you go check the documentation you get this:
'Just use beem'
I have crawled beem so many times already to look up how 
What the fuck do I need the HIVE docs for then?
Also: holger (bless him) tried to simplify things by converting strings to ints (and back) behind the scenes for our convenience. However, that's not great if you need to figure out the underlying API calls.
API Docs
This is the actual call and the API definitions.
account_auths is a dictionary.
THANKS!
Is it Lazyness?
You'd think, that someone takes this and updates the docs, maybe?
So the next person doesn't have to go through the same shit again?
Just fucking paste in an example auths dict, with example weights.
Warn ppl not to brick their auths, perhaps?
This is critical shit, especially when you change owner auths.
That I even have to type this out and explain pisses me off so hard...
Why don't you do it?
- I am not getting paid
(while others make $$) - My contributions get ignored
(Until I make a mistake, then they'll all come) - I still can't be fucked to use git - I personally never use it, as it annoys me.
- A good API should respond with a descriptive error message, which points out the issue.
(I used OpenAI API and could just try JSONs out and the API would point out the error and even provide links to examples - 😮 Imagine that!)
Actually, a good API can document itself ('help?')

And you'd think someone steps up to fix at least the docs...
Yet, we have a bunch of imposters labeling themselves as developer in that discord.
I know some of them couldn't even code 'hello world!' without chatGPT.
Can we at this low point (price) please start weeding out some trash, while we are at it?
Ask your favorite witness to step up and fix the docs - See how that works out!
