You'd be surprised as to how many people do not read the official documentation for the tools they use. They'll spend time on Google or Stack Overflow rather than a minute in the official docs—even when they're great (e.g. Rails guides).
- teach 11y agoWell, in their defense, most documentation is terrible. You get used to being able to find something in two Google searches that you couldn't find in five minutes looking through the docs.
- zacmps 11y agoShoutout to the golang docs, they're actually amazing.
- sotojuan 11y agoTrue. It's something we have to improve.
- justinlardinois 11y agoI suppose it depends on what languages you use. The docs for C++, Java, PHP, and the man pages for C have all been very useful to me. Python is terrible.
