I don’t have any problem with reading a 391 page manual first: I’ll come away with a solid understanding of what I’m doing, and I’ll be far more effective in the future. Reading the manual is an investment that pays off ten-fold in short order. The problem isn’t that I don’t want to read a manual, it’s that the “scrum master” breathing down my neck to increase my “velocity” and close tickets sees me reading the manual and says “why are you wasting time reading when you could just randomly google until you find a solution or interrupt your also busy coworkers with inane questions that they don’t really know the answers to either?”
