Do you want to master it or not? Your choice, but you won't master it via "Stack Overflow". What would you have done if you had grown up at Bell Labs, refused to read manual pages? Is it worth using shitty software or putting up with shitty software or reinventing the wheel over and over and over again just because you feel like mastering something is too much work? If it is... it's just one more reason for me to exit this industry, for I do not want to keep such company.
