Yes. Why would I need to read something that is 99% information that is not important to me or my problem.

Because you'll learn the solution for the other problems you'll have some day on the way.

So I'll waste my time when I could instead get right to the heart of my problem. Have a conversation and learn more about that thing I'm implementing vs blindly skimming through manuals that have nothing to do with my problem in hopes that I'll retain that information on 2 years when i come across the other issue. Or I could just chatgpt that problem as well
