There’s been many times I’ve been hand waved in IRC channels to RTFM when the “manual” is multiple wikis or documents lacking essential points between them. The best ones are the wiki migrations where you can tell someone got in over their head trying to migrate to the new hotness.
On one hand, I see so many occasions where someone typically new to something even if they aren’t new to programming asking questions that could be trivial found in a second.
On the other hand I’ve seen enough handwavy RTFM copypastas from people who clearly neglected to read the question being asked as well as enough manuals [documentation, etc.] that wants to make me bash my head in with how usuals, unspecific, difficult to navigate it is.
