News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

True, but I've seen lots of answers that are "hacks" when there's usually a better, supported way that was spelled out in the docs, e.g. won't fail when you upgrade the library say.

Or they don't want to understand the issue at hand, so they put in a hack, when obtaining a complete understanding of the issue which might take 5 minutes of their time reading the docs, would provide a better solution.

If the docs have examples that cover your use case, which is far from certain.
