In your opinion, when newbie developers read docs, what is the most frustrating part?

I've asked this question on Twitter yesterday and got a few responses:

lack of examples! I skim thru when i view any docs.. if it doesn't have examples, i struggle a bit at first 😅

Not having working example code or obsolete code that doesn't work and or compile.

Jargon and term standardization is always a killer.

Hot take: add a synonym guide in the back of all documentation.

What would you add? What has been your experience?
