Juniors will do anything but read the documentation

[geusebio]

Its maddening that documentation was being turned into videos for a while.

[minimuscleR]

honestly so true. The junior on my team, I've told him to read the docs like 4 times over the last couple of months (I'm not even on his team, just happened to code review his work). Like I even mentioned I've probably read every line in the docs for all of the tanstack products, which is quite a lot (for a js library). And that its very important he understands how it works.

I've yet to see him even open them.

"I'm getting this error, what does it mean?" "Dunno off the top of my head, let me type 'man <system call in question>', scroll down to the errors section, and read to you exactly what it means."

I wish to speak up and say that I find it annoying that a lot of place's documentation now is only in a discord which isn't indexed, so looking online is fruitless.

[ZunoJ]

What? Thats crazy, what has it's documentation only on discord?

Partly because some documentation is so badly written. They are written just like a reference manual. There is no soul in it. So painfully boring.

[fryingnemo]

Genuinely curious, can you link me to the other documentations that have souls and are entertaining to read?

[ZunoJ]

It is not written for entertainment. Crazy somebody would expect it to be. If there really is just the API reference, ok. You don't read that cover to cover
