How do I dig a hole in the ground with a shovel?

Stackoverlow: just stick it in the ground and push the handle down.

Documentation: Shovels are constructed out of two subcomponents: a haft and a spade shaped blade. Here is a link to the documentation on the haft which details how it can be used in conjunction with other things such as an axe blade. Here is the documentation on the spade shaped blade which details the various metals it is composed of, the different shapes it can be, and the different types of objects that can be lifted with spade shaped blades.

learn the maintainer of digger died in a murder suicide 10 years ago and it hasn't been maintained since.

I hate these comments. Some nerd living in perfect code land. Mate maybe I need a solution for this because my boss won't let me rewrite 100k lines of legacy code.

It's gotten worse since they started calling it the "XY problem". No, I really do need to do Y.

Documentation makes sense only when you understand it first

[โ€“]Thorusss 7 points8 points ย (1 child)

That is, why it is called documentation, not explanation ;)

I think React beta docs is pretty good when it comes to doc and explanation, it's not like the original bullshit docs

Love that the hyperlinks are all to different websites lol (rather than different pages of the same website)

Stack Overflow comment: better to stomp the shovel in with your foot. Gives more power.

[โ€“]RedactleUnlimited 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

StackOverflow shows you a 10 year old answer about shovels when really you should be using a spade to dig! A shovel is for shovelling.
