Yes, I will agree with most of what is said here. I myself am also in the SW development field, so there is some thing to be said about the "RTFM crowd". However, the more I think about it, the more that RTFM makes sense to me. Unfortunatly, there are people that will just loop back to RTFM even though you had read and Ctrl+F the parts you needed, and are asking specific questions regarding something that might not be perfectly understood by you. That said, most people in the community do not mind helping you if you are willing to put in the effort to look things up yourself. RTFM makes perfect sense, and simple questions that could be answered by a quick search are really bad to see. The major challenge is that you are in a field that requires you to be resourceful, so how then are you supposed to be resourceful when you are unable to .. well.. read the fucking manual. If there are further questions after reading the manual and accompanying literature, then there is no reason why a question cannot be asked, but if people are just lazy... well.. that cannot be what the community wants.
