Comment on How the IT guys see the users

On the flip side are IT people who are apparently unable to RTFM. They try 15,000 solutions that logically make sense, exhaust logical options and start doing random shit that’s got almost no chance of working, but never stop to just check the docs.

  Personally, I usually try something before going to docs. Sometimes I exhaust all ideas I have before going to the docs. But I never just do random shit until I’ve tried everything that makes sense, read the docs, and asked around the internet (maybe try random stuff while waiting for replies online)

    I was mostly kidding, though it depends on the problem itself - if I need an explanation for a function argument, no point testing shit if the docs answer it in 15 seconds. If it’s something more solution-y, I might do some testing before consulting the papers
