Lack of README files that explain the project, the audience, and provides some good examples. Libraries that change their api surface so much over time that LLMs end up producing code against deprecated versions of the library. More up front thought should be given to the api surface.

Sometimes you come upon a library and it tells you what it does but there is no explanation or context on why you would want to use it
