    And FTFM. Find the fucking manual.

    And perhaps TTFM. Translate the fucking manual either from broken chinese-english or the tech-lingo + missing context information which is almost every manpage on Linux, making it nearly useless for the average user unless you got hours and hours of time to understand all the adjacent concepts and commands.

  • This is a problem with more than just Microsoft. Any software (game, application, library, whatever) that has had many years of updates some of which are breaking, will have this problem with docs.

    Oh you are using version 5.5.24 of xyzlib? All these docs are a mixture of stuff when 4.2.57 was out and stuff someone tried to update when 7.5.14 released.

    It used to be so much worse. The ms docs used to be very spotty, sometimes plain wrong. Apparently now they're a bit of a mess but they're way more complete and, mostly to the point. Luckily I moved away from their stuff ages ago so I don't have to deal with it anymore.
