Oh, I definitely yell at the clouds about this. IMO, if you can't be bothered to read docs, don't take up other people's time with questions that could have been answered by yourself.

If by confront you mean "explain to people that they will have to put in the work," then yes, I agree. I'm very tired of people coming up with abstractions to paper over a lack of fundamental knowledge. Abstractions by themselves aren't a a bad thing, but they often leak, and you need to know what you're actually doing.
