I'm with you on this. My learning style is to read the reference manual cover to cover (metaphorically now). I can recall numerous instances of wanting to get into a new thing and finding the vast majority of recommended introductions to be the polar opposite of what I was looking for. I'm going through this now as I decided to spend some time today learning the Drizzle ORM. The first things I found were all "here are half a dozen examples of queries", and I started getting frustrated: why are you using that syntax and not something else? What are the other options? I closed those and I'm much happier doing it my way: reading every page of the documentation before doing anything else.
