Being a programmer is just an endless struggle to go from the guy being told to RTFM to being the guy to tell others to RTFM.
@jory I'm not sure its such a viscious cycle. As a coder reading the documentation to learn is effective. Just need good enough documentation that you can read and navigate it easily.
@freemo We do have a culture of needing better documentation ;)
@jory Depends on the project. For many projects absolutely.
@freemo What do you think is missing? / What would break the vicious cycle?
