The site that got me into programming as a teenager was called "FromZero" and explained how to write programs in C for non-developpers. From installing the IDE, to how to open the console, it carefully explained each step, sometimes saying "don't worry about Snarfus, we'll get into that later". It was amazing, and I owe this website my career.
That being said, I agree writing doc is time consuming and it might not be your priority, in this case partial docs is better than no docs at all. But if your target is beginner developpers, imo you should consider them as non-developpers, as you correctly descibed them.
