#2I would reject that PR.
Something like that change should have a message explaining why that change is proposed.
Unfortunate that the blogpost itself can't be forked :p

#3Brilliant. Let unpaid volunteers fix and update the documentation for your proprietary systems so you don't have to pay someone to do it.
Can someone explain to me why people will inevitably put in countless hours of free labor for Amazon here?

It's a great resume padder.

#5I for one, welcome this change.. assuming I can grep for what I'm looking for in the repos. Or maybe Dash will integrate the docs so I don't have to browse around on metered LTE networks.

If it's not a huge change I'd rather suggest a fix while I'm in middle of something so that I don't have to update internal company documentation + code comments for special cases.
Comes with caveats of course, like I'm not going to spend a lot of time waiting to merge the PR for Amazon's docs. But given how many people use it, it's sort of for greater good anyway.

I think php.net's documentation with comments was better.

I think it’s because some people just like to help things get better. And there is no problem about this.

Well as a user of Amazon you have a vested interest in the documentation being correct. It is what other members of your team and organization will be referring to.
Having it on GitHub will also add additional context around changes in the form of PRs, Issues and the commit history.
