Ask HN: Do you read docs, or just skim for shiny syntax? or other?

Ignoring AI for a moment... How do (did) you read docs?

Comments

seph-reed•1h ago
I usually know what type I have and what type I want and just skim, searching for code examples with anything using either of those types.

The only time I really read some docs is if I've been stuck on one particular problem for a while.

I suspect that 90% of the time, if it isn't in a codeblock I don't read it.
