You’re certainly better off reading both.

But I have a bigger issue with the fact that developers who use Stack Overflow are more often than not just going to copy and paste and not understand what they’re doing.

And that’s predominantly how the site is used.

Yeah, there are plenty of manpages that are verbose, but frankly a lot of them are easier to parse than reading hacked together Stack Overflow answers that don’t explain how the poster arrived at their answer.

They literally don’t show their work.
