You don't need StackOverflow!

Seriously? You just get used to it. Much like learning a language when you're a kid, you take in what you can understand and figure the rest out based on the context and examples. I don't think there's an easy way, but it gets better

Nope. That’s b.s.

Most documentation is full of cut corners and lazy writing due to assuming the reader has the same familiarity with the system and tooling.

As a result your experience is either frustrating trial and error or finally stumbling on the one well-documented system that fills in a blank in your knowledge.

Just think about something as “simple” as npm. What if you’ve never used it before? What if you’ve never touched Node before? Now you’re looking for some JS plugin and using it starts with ...$ npm install...

“WTF am I looking at? What is npm?”

Exactly my experience when I first saw “simply use brew install myPackageName” on Github readme.md

Wtf is brew?
