"Instead of asking StackOverflow if an API exists or a library has a particular feature, I read the docs instead."
That's what you're supposed to do :) Ask the question only after you do the homework, not INSTEAD of it
- drchaos 13y agoIn my experience, just googling a (simple) question is much faster than trying to browse any documentation by some other means. One could say that the web is the docs nowadays and Google is just the frontend.
- p4bl0 13y agoYou can consider googling as searching the documentation, even if the said documentation is an answer on SO. What V-2 rightly said is that you should do that before asking on SO, not before looking through it for an answer. Anyway, this whole article is pointless, and senseless. I fail to see why people would upvote it.
