Re:I Didn’t Learn Unix by Reading All the Manpages by nvy on Wednesday May 24, 2023 @03:03PM (#36062604)
find(1) is a classic example. The first two or three pages are of essentially zero practical use. I open the manual, skim the first page, no obvious clues about how to actually use `find`, so my next step is always to go to web search.

I've got a thousand things to do that are better uses of my time than reading 20 pages of arcane documentation that may or may not answer my question.
