Some random thoughts:

These are fair criticisms. These kinds of problems can also be difficult to demonstrate to others who may help.
For example "some function `f(x)` gives 5 when it should give 7" will get an answer in 5 minutes on stack overflow, whereas "my thing's not working and I don't know why" will receive 4 downvotes and no answer in the same time.

I tend to be the kind of learner who doesn't sit down for 30 days and read the docs cover to cover, but rather I start using the new tool on day 1 and figure out what I need to know as a I go. But rails rewards the former approach (i.e. reading through the rails guides - or even just skimming them). This may take a few weeks, but it gives the ability to at least know where to start to look if something has gone wrong.
