We learn through experience and reading docs. Many doc readers will shout RTFM, but I'm primarily an experience learner, if the software/language isn't something I can get my head around without pouring over heavy doc files, unless I need it, I skip it. The best tools are obvious or self explanatory. The doc files and books will be waiting for me when I'm getting into nontrivial features. HN's points are like Who's Line is it Anyway. They really don't matter outside. If your Nick name becomes recognized it can have an impact.
