Engineers that only rely on docs never reach their full potential. Reading the source is a must.

I think junior devs often don’t realize they should be reading the source of the libraries they use.

That is an important catalyst aggregating the problem. Juniors are reading less code, mostly generating and then AI code produced dissuades them from reading code even more and the skills take a bit even more.
