I have heard this said by many people: “I don’t look at documentation because it usually is inaccurate/out of date”
There’s plenty of people sharing anecdata about bad docs, and I’ve dealt with my fair share. But my anecdata is that engineers who habitually go to the docs directly and read them gain a better understanding and write better software than those who do not. I believe that most software for engineers has documentation that is more informative than stack overflow and blog posts.
