I personally do think there is a systemic problem in companies trying to hire the bare minimum in skills/experience for technical roles and ending up with people operating right at the limit of their abilities (and intermittently being in over their heads). But do I agree RTFM is frustrating advice for a lot of things. Especially if you aren't going to use such information often enough, so will keep forgetting it anyway and have to start over with the manual each time.

Especially if you aren't going to use such information often enough, so will keep forgetting it anyway and have to start over with the manual each time. This is related to one of biggest frustrations in the last ten years. We used to master the tool set. But now there are so many tools. Some of them we don't used them often enough. I find myself doing a lot of guessing whereas before I knew what was going on at every step.
