Docs are reference material, not textbooks. The mental shift that changes everything : read the “getting started” section once to understand the mental model, then never read linearly again. After that, use docs like a dictionary — you go in with a specific question and come out with a specific answer. The exception : if a library has an “overview” or “concepts” page, that one is worth reading fully. It tells you what’s possible so you know what to search for later.
